It’s the final weekend before Halloween and the community of Folsom has a variety of events taking place. One of the many events takes place in the city’s Historic District as “Festifall,” brings an afternoon of family fun to life.

Taking place up and down Historic Sutter Street and the surround areas, this event welcomes families to being their little ones in their costumes for a family-friendly trick or treating experience with participating merchants throughout the district. 

The event takes place from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. Trick-or-treaters who attend the event simply have to look for participating merchant signs throughout the district to find where treats will be handed out for the costumed little ones. Many merchants hand out candy just outside their entry ways and ever dress up themselves. 

In addition to trick-or-treating, the day will feature a number of fun activities this year. Bayside Church of Folsom has once again teamed up with the Folsom Historic District to present a safe and fun day for families just before Halloween. From 2 to 5 p.m., kids can enjoy bounce houses and games happening, as well as a costume contest that culminates at the amphitheater in the afternoon.
