Jars of Clay plays free concert at Dickens of a Christmas

The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County has announced that Jars of Clay will perform at the 33rd annual Dickens of a Christmas.

In 2004, Jars of Clay founded the nonprofit organization Blood:Water. The organization focuses on supporting African civil society organizations that are working to end the HIV/AIDS and water crises in their home communities. Blood:Water will have a booth at the festival to raise awareness of this ongoing crisis. The free live performance will take place at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9 in the Public Square in Historic Downtown Franklin.

The Heritage Foundation’s Dickens of a Christmas, presented by First Citizens National Bank, is a Victorian themed street festival that takes place every December in Historic Downtown Franklin. Joining the arts and crafts vendors, there will be over 200 musicians, dancers and characters strolling the streets. For the first time, there will also be ice-skating on the Public Square on both Saturday and Sunday.
