Best Bar:
Powerhouse Pub |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
You don't
have to drive to Sacramento to see quality entertainment...
after all, once bands like the Cheeseballs and Wonderbread 5
hit Harlow's downtown, their next stop is always the
Powerhouse. Powerhouse Pub is known for loud music, great
bands, and a great patio. This place is king... 4 years in a
row! |

Bar Food: BJ's Brewpub |
|
|
|
|
|
When you want
to unwind after a hard day's work, head over to BJ's for a cold
beer, and order up some appetizers while you're at it! Lettuce
wraps, buffalo wings, all are great. Go ahead, order a pizzookie.
We know it's not really an appetizer, but it's darn tasty! |

Best “Under
21” Spot: Thursday Night Market |
|
|
|
|
|
Thursday Night
Market is always full of teenagers all summer long. Perhaps it's
the best way to see friends during summer break, or perhaps they
are just looking for free entertainment. Either way, it's likely
you'll be spending many Thursday evenings in the summer on
Sutter Street if you have a teenager! |

Best Place
to Be Seen: Concerts in the Park |
|
|
|
|
|
Although this
year has been one for scorching heat, even in the evenings...
Concerts in the Park are always a great time. It's usually not
about the band - they are just a side highlight to mulling about
and seeing all of your friends and neighbors in the crowd! |

Tourist Destination: Folsom Lake |
|
|
|
|
|
Folsom
Lake is very popular for so many reasons - you can have a
picnic overlooking the lake, you can go swimming, boating,
sailing... there's even a sandy beach at Granite Bay for the
kids to enjoy. It's cheap entertainment, right in our own
backyard! |

Best Folsom
Event: Christmas Tree Lighting |
|
|
|
|
|
Although
Folsom is getting bigger every day, it still retains its
hometown feel with many events like the Christmas Tree lighting
on Sutter Street. Residents young and old get bundled up, drink
hot chocolate, sing
Christmas Carols, and then watch the tree get lit... it's always
a lot of fun, even if you don't celebrate Christmas! |

Summer Activity:
Biking Folsom's Trails |
|
|
|
|
|
Largely
unnoticed throughout this community is an award-winning network
of bicycle trails... they span from the American River all the
way through Willow Creek. It would take an entire weekend to
discover them all, and that doesn't even include
Folsom Lake! |

Community Park: Livermore Park |
|
|
|
|
|
Livermore Park
is probably laden with the most features in Folsom - 3 barbeque
areas, sand volleyball courts, softball field, waterfalls, and
much more. Concerts in the Park have been here while the Library
is being built, so many people have discovered Livermore Park
for the first time. The secret is out... this park is perfect
for any family! |
