3-8pm | This year, Franklin is launching Bennaroo, its first-ever music festival! The festival will feature student and professional bands and is expected to draw more than 1,000 alumni, families, and friends for a night of music and community. Proceeds will benefit the music program and student travel fund, helping purchase instruments, expand opportunities for performance and competition, and reduce costs for global learning experiences. With a goal of raising $57,000 in honor of the year of our founding, Bennaroo offers sponsors the chance to celebrate New Orleans’ premier public school while supporting the future of Franklin students.
