Frequently Asked Questions

Which events do I need to pay to attend?

The only events that will require an attendance fee are the Festival Dinner and the Saturday brunch. Each event is $5 per attendee, except for Franklin College students and guests under 5 years of age. Please be sure to register for as many events as you plan to attend, so we can plan accordingly.

Do I need to pay for my current Franklin College student to attend family weekend?

No. Franklin College students and children under 5 years of age are free of charge.

Where can I pick up my shirts?

Pre-ordered shirts will be available at check-in. We conveniently place all your shirts in one bag for easy management.

If I did not order shirts, but decide later I want them, can I still get them?

A limited supply of extra shirts will be available for purchase on a first come, first served basis at check-in all weekend long. We cannot guarantee availability.

Is there a limit to the number of family and friends who can attend?

No, the more the merrier!

I can only attend one day. Can I still attend?

Absolutely! Register for the events you plan to attend so we’ll have an idea of when to expect you.

If I did not indicate that I would be attending an event on my registration form, but change my mind later, can I still attend?

We ask that you please register for the events you plan to attend so we can plan for space and supplies. If that is not possible - or if your plans change - please let us know when you arrive at check-in. If the event requires an attendance fee (festival dinner, brunch or pottery) and if space allows, you can sign up.
