Community Event Entries

Non-Commercial


2024 Entries open in April

The Historic Folsom Hometown Parade is a hit with residents and surrounding communities. Historic Folsom is the perfect backdrop to celebrate what makes our community special. This hugely successful and highly supported event will be held June 29, 2024.

Planning is underway by residents and local business owners. The planning committee will open entries in April 2024. We are looking for colorful, fun and engaging floats put together by enthusiastic groups, organizations, neighborhoods and local businesses. 

Past entries included Folsom City Council members, zoo docents, Folsom Police and Folsom Fire, Old West Legends, local businesses, dance crews and many more.

The parade welcomes participation from all, with a limit of 25 individuals per group marching in the procession.  However, groups are free to have additional members supporting them from the sidelines. 

Maximum Height is 12 Feet - this is for safety!  There are hanging lights across Sutter Street.

Now is the time to start planning and deciding if your group would like to have a presence in this beloved community tradition.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A VOLUNTEER?


    In preparation for our Hometown Parade June 29, 2024 we are seeking 50-60 volunteers.

    Must be able to be on your feet for 3 hours and sport a great attitude throughout. Also, depending on your placement, you may not be able to see the parade. If you are able to volunteer your time, please contact the Folsom Historic District Association. Thank you! Volunteers ROCK!

    Some volunteer duties will include: standing by road barricades to make sure people stay safe as well as make sure no cars come in; helping with the staging (participants’ place in the parade) and assisting the Staging Lead; helping with set up along the street; answer questions for guests such as where the bathrooms are etc; and maybe a few other things, but all fairly simple. 


    Please contact the Folsom Historic District Association if you're interested in volunteering!!

    (916) 985-7452

    Parking and Transportation


    Parking in the Historic District is free, but it is also limited, especially on big event days.

    Here are a few suggestions to make your trip to Historic Folsom a bit easier:

    1. Carpool or take Uber or Lift, whenever possible.
    2. Park in the main public parking garage at 905 Leidesdorff St. There is a digital counter that allows you to see the number of spaces available before you enter. This does fill early.
    3. Park in the secondary, smaller parking garage at 604 Sutter Street.  This does fill early.
    4. Park in lots at Wool and Sutter, Leidesdorff St, Traders Lane or on Riley St behind the Powerhouse Pub.
    5. There are 2 additional lots near the light rail station, near Reading and Folsom Blvd. Both lots are available for free parking.
    6. DO NOT park near Lake Natoma Inn unless you are staying at the hotel. DO NOT park in POSTED no parking areas of the residential area near the Historic District

    Parking is limited in the district due to road closures and the large number of anticipated attendees.  

    A note about Light Rail:

    Regional Transit Gold Line, Route 507. See RT schedule at: sacrt.com/schedules/current/routes/R507.HTM. Parking is available at the Regional Transit stop at Iron Point and Folsom Boulevard.  Catch a bus for a short ride to the Historic District Light Rail Station.  Bus runs every 30 minutes.  Note:  Light rail service to Historic District is suspended temporarily while dual-track construction is underway from Iron Point to Historic District.
