The experience
What's special
Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival is set to return to The Park at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, Tennessee, on April 10 and 11, 2027, after skipping 2026. Launched in 2015 as a late-September event, it is moving to spring, and the organizers have said more details are coming. Its founders drew on the diversity of New Orleans Jazz Fest, mixing rock, alt-country, bluegrass, jazz, indie and gospel on stages such as Midnight Sun and Gold Record Road, alongside local makers, restaurants and an Americana Music Triangle area. Past headliners have included The Killers, Justin Timberlake, Wilco, Foo Fighters and Keith Urban.
How it works
The 2027 lineup and passes are still to be announced. At earlier editions the festival ran as a day event on the farm at 239 Franklin Rd, with general admission in tiers where only the price differs and VIP areas available. Wristbands allow same-day re-entry, one factory-sealed water bottle is allowed, and tents, coolers, outside food and drink and pets are not. Low-backed chairs and blankets are allowed outside the standing zone in front of the main stages.
Who it suits
Pilgrimage presents itself as family friendly, with a Franklin Fun Farm area for children, and kids aged 7 and under are free with an adult general admission ticket. It suits people who want a broad Americana-leaning bill, from rock and country to gospel and jazz, in a park setting where many spend the day on blankets. Strollers and wagons are allowed, and ADA parking passes are sold in advance.

Getting there
How do I get to Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival?
Pilgrimage is held on a historic farm park on Franklin Road in Franklin, south of Nashville, and most visitors drive in. Parking passes are sold separately from festival passes, and past editions ran an official express shuttle from park-and-ride points in Franklin, Brentwood and Nashville, so look for the same service when the April 2027 details are posted. Check out each of the options below for the airport, shuttle and parking.
Nearest airport BNA.
By car
The nearest major airport is BNA, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
Both operators serve the downtown Nashville Bus Station (709 Rep. John Lewis Way S), a roughly 20-mile onward trip from Franklin still remains, via rideshare, the festival's own Nashville shuttle pickup points, or a rental car. Neither operator runs a stop in Franklin itself.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Uber/Lyft pickups and drop-offs at BNA route through the Ground Transportation Center (Terminal Garage 2, Level 1), about a 10-minute walk from TSA/ticketing. Direct to Franklin from the airport, or to any of the festival's own shuttle pickup points listed above.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
Cost Advance 2-day parking passes are sold directly through the festival's own ticketing platform; secondary-market listings for the most recent edition priced them from around $175 for the two-day pass. Prepay via Front Gate Tickets. Free parking is also available in downtown Franklin's public lots and on-street spaces, roughly a 15-minute walk to the festival gates, a genuine no-cost alternative to the paid on-site lot for attendees willing to walk. VIP ticket packages include one on-site parking pass per order.

Check ratesAirbnb & private camping
Franklin and the wider Cool Springs/Brentwood area have active Airbnb inventory. Franklin's historic downtown and its major annual events are generally understood to drive seasonal demand for short-term rentals, though no festival-specific surge-pricing figure is published.
Search AirbnbHipcamp lists private-land camping/glamping/RV options in the rural Williamson County countryside surrounding Franklin, not walkable to the venue and a car-hire-adjacent option, but a genuine alternative to a hotel for festival-goers comfortable with a short drive.
