New to the festival this year is The Mom Spot by Baby + Co that will provide a private nursing/changing lounge for moms. Creating a fun and safe experience is of the upmost importance so Pilgrimage will be providing wristbands for all kids to wear with their parent’s phone number. The Lil’ Pilgrim’s area has expanded the activities stage, now called The Mare Barn Theater, to include sessions in kid improv, up close puppet and magic shows and a songwriting workshop for children.
Additionally, the arts and crafts area has collaborated with the Frist Center for the Visual Arts this year to include a special activity in the children’s area. Kids will get to create sound bracelets that are inspired by the soundsuits of visual artist Nick Cave, who’s exhibition will be on display at the Frist Center this fall. Materials include bells, pony beads, and glow-in-the-dark elements. The wearable artworks will produce sound when children dance and glow in the final hours of the festival after sunset. And Remember: Kids 10 and under get in FREE when accompanied by an adult GA Ticket.

The festival also supports the local community and continues to drive tourism dollars to Williamson County and the Pilgrimage Foundation, the festival’s non-profit arm. A portion of each ticket sale will benefit the City of Franklin and Friends of Franklin Parks. In addition, a portion of ticket sales will also benefit MusiCares, a nonprofit organization that was established by The Recording Academy® to provide a wide range of emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery resources to members of the music community.
