The Holiday season is here, and Folsom’s got lots of great events to keep you in the spirit.

Here’s the run-down on some of my favorites.

Folsom Tree Lighting, Friday Nov 30 in the Historic District – I love this event. It makes our city of about 75,000 people seem like a small town.  Wagon rides, live music, ice skating, and a visit from the big man himself, the one and only Santa! Official lighting a 730.
