The holiday season ignites in Historic Folsom this weekend but it doesn’t end with the tree lighting and the arrival of Santa. The Historic District welcomes one of its much loved holiday tradition on Sunday, Dec. 8. It’s the 56th Annual Christmas Arts & Crafts Fair will bring hundreds of craft vendors and more to the heart of Folsom, offering another festive experience that promises something for everyone and the opportunity to shop until you drop for those unique holiday gifts or décor you can’t find everywhere else.
Known as one of the longest-standing holiday craft fairs in the region, this event has been delighting attendees for more than five decades. This year’s fair, a juried showcase, will feature over 200 artisan crafters displaying their unique, high-quality, handmade goods. From one-of-a-kind holiday decorations to thoughtfully crafted gifts, this is the perfect opportunity to check off your holiday shopping list while supporting talented artisans.
The fair will sprawl across four blocks of Historic Sutter Street and the surrounding public plaza, all bustling with activity. Adding to the charm of the event, live musicians will fill the air with seasonal tunes, and children can enjoy face painting, making it a delightful outing for the entire family. Food vendors will be on hand with a variety of delicious offerings, while Historic Folsom’s brick-and-mortar shops and restaurants invite visitors to explore their treasures and enjoy the local flavors.
In addition to all of the activity outside, the event brings a boost to merchants in the Historic District as it draws thousands of visitors throughout the day. Merchants up and down Sutter Street will be open for business throughout the day, offering a shopping and dining extravaganza.
One of the highlights of the day is the opportunity to experience the nearby landmark train turntable ice rink, which opened earlier this season. Whether you’re gliding on the ice or taking in the magical holiday atmosphere, the rink is sure to add an extra sparkle to your visit and is a great place to drop of the youngsters for holiday fun while you shop. “Come for the crafts, stay for the charm—Historic Folsom’s Christmas Arts & Crafts Fair is a can’t-miss event this season,” cites the Folsom Historic District Association.
Rain or shine, the Christmas Arts & Crafts Fair promises an open-air market bursting with holiday cheer, gift inspiration, and a true sense of community.
