The Town of Nolensville will commemorate its 30th Birthday and Founders Day on Saturday, October 3, 2026, with a celebration honoring the Town's history and vision for the future. The celebration will include a month-long digital passport program supporting local businesses, the launch of an official Town flag design campaign, and a ceremonial time capsule burial at Town Hall.

Founders Day is designed to celebrate the people, places, and organizations that have shaped Nolensville over the last 30 years while creating lasting memories and preserving the Town's history for future generations.

Join us for Founders Day on Saturday, October 3, at 11:00 a.m. at Nolensville Town Hall, as we celebrate our community’s history, the people and places that have shaped Nolensville, and the future ahead.

One of the highlights of the celebration will be the ceremonial burial of a 30-Year Time Capsule. The capsule will preserve memories from the past 30 years and items representing Nolensville today, creating a snapshot of our community for future generations. It will be sealed on October 3 and opened in October 2056.

Attendees of the October 3 celebration will receive a one-of-a-kind Founders Day challenge coin, while supplies last.

Whether you’ve called Nolensville home for 30 years or are new to our community, everyone is invited to celebrate this milestone. So join us October 3 and throughout the month as we celebrate 30 years of Nolensville and look ahead to the next 30.

As part of the Founders Day celebration, the Town has launched a community-wide design campaign to establish the Official Flag of the Town of Nolensville.

Residents of all ages are invited to submit designs that reflect the Town's identity, history, and future.
