Annual Community Celebration June 25, 2022
Folsom, Calif.- Come celebrate the fourth annual “Historic Folsom Hometown Parade,” a community celebration taking place on Saturday, June 25th starting at 9:30 a.m. in Historic Folsom. We couldn’t be more excited to bring back this family fun even to the district.
The Hometown Parade will take place on Sutter Street, beginning at Scott Street and heading west to Reading Street. This very entertaining procession-will range from funky floats to Wild West re-enactments and everything in between. We have some fabulous entries of well-loved classics that both young and old will love.
Grand Marshal
The 2022 Hometown Parade Grand Marshal is the Honorable John McGinness, former Sacramento Sheriff and host of the John McGinness show on KFBK news radio. McGinness served more than 31 years with the Sheriff’s Department and has served in every service area of the department. He is an adjunct professor of criminal justice, communications, leadership, and professional studies with the California State University.
Pancake Breakfast
Arrive early and enjoy breakfast in the District at any of our eateries, or down at the Eagles Lodge (located at 215 Scott Rd) where they will be hosting a pancake breakfast.
But wait! The party’s not over when the parade ends. Plan to spend the day in the district. Many of our amazing merchants will be offering specials. Enjoy live music after the parade at the amphitheater, the Folsom Hotel and Gaslight Company. The 700 block of Sutter Street will remain closed to vehicles through the weekend.
Come back to the District at 7pm for more fun at the Hometown Radio Show at the Zittel Family Amphitheater.
