2023 Entries open March 2023

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 24, 2023.

Planning is underway by residents and local business owners. The planning committee will open entries in March 2023. We are look for colorful, enthusiastic groups, organizations, and neighborhood floats. 

Past entries included Folsom City Council members, zoo docents, Folsom Police and Folsom Fire, Old West Legends, the Mad Dawg Wrestling, Folsom HS Bulldogs Football Team, Soap Box Derby, Shriners, and many, many more.

The parade is open to all to participate with no more than 25 people per group in the parade. Of course, groups can have more members cheering them on from the crowd.

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 new community tradition.
