Each event is $5 per attendee, except for Franklin College students and guests under 5 years of age, who are free. Please be sure to register for the events you expect 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.
Is there a limit to the number of family and friends who can attend? No, the more the merrier!
I can only be there for 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 select 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 expect 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 craft) and if space allows, you can sign up.

Written by Qui Nguyen and Directed by Scott Russell Agnes Evans leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. However, when she discovers Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, Agnes finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge.
