BOOFest is our annual Halloween Party for the Historic Downtown District. Over 200 carved jack-o-lanterns invade the Historic Courthouse square for a night of frights and candy! A carved and decorated pumpkin contest, costume contest, spooky music, food booths, trick or treating, family scavenger hunt and games for the children, are all a part of the festivities. F-S Renaissance, Simpson County Fair Board, Simpson County Ag Awareness Committee, Simpson County Tourism, F-S Parks & Recreation, and Franklin Simpson Community Arts Council join forces to make this a scaringly fun good time for the whole family!
