Kick off the Fourth of July celebrations with one of Folsom’s most beloved traditions—the Historic Folsom Hometown Parade!
Join friends, families, and neighbors along Sutter Street as this festive all-American parade winds through the heart of the Historic District. The parade begins at Coloma & Sutter Street and travels down Sutter Street to Reading Street, filling the evening with community pride, music, and patriotic spirit.
From colorful floats and marching groups to creative community entries and local businesses, the Hometown Parade celebrates everything that makes Folsom special. Thousands of spectators gather each year to cheer on participants and enjoy the energy of this hometown tradition.
Bring your chairs, grab dinner from local Historic District restaurants, and enjoy a summer evening filled with community spirit.
Get ready, Folsom—the Cattle Drive is BACK and bigger than ever! After hearing from so many of you, we’re thrilled to bring this beloved tradition home as the grand finale of the Historic Folsom Hometown Parade. There’s nothing quite like the sight of longhorn cattle making their way down Sutter Street, bringing our western roots to life in the most unforgettable way. With so much to celebrate—250 years as a nation, Folsom’s 80th birthday, and 65 years of the Folsom Rodeo—this year’s return of the Cattle Drive is more than a moment… it’s a full-on MOO-vement!
