After weeks of nominations, thousands of votes and strong community participation, the votes have been counted and the winners of the 2026 Folsom Times Best of Times Awards have officially been determined.
The annual community choice awards program presented by Folsom Times once again showcased the businesses, organizations and professionals that local residents believe represent the very best of Folsom and the surrounding region. From restaurants and retail shops to service providers, health and wellness businesses, entertainment venues and more, this year’s competition generated tremendous engagement from the community.
Community members can now view the complete list of 2026 winners, including first-, second- and third-place finishers in every category, by visiting www.bestoffolsom.comor through the new Folsom Times mobile app you can add to your device here.
Voting concluded on June 12 following a highly competitive campaign that saw businesses rally supporters and encourage customers, friends and family members to cast ballots in support of their favorite local establishments. As in previous years, several categories remained tightly contested right up until the final days of voting.
The Best of Times Awards continue to operate on a platform developed entirely in-house by All Town Media LLC and Folsom Times. The system was designed to prioritize transparency and fairness while ensuring winners are determined solely by community votes rather than advertising participation or outside influence and “repeat voting,”
The 2026 awards recognize businesses and organizations across dozens of categories covering nearly every aspect of local life. From dining and entertainment to professional services, health and wellness, home improvement, shopping and community organizations, the awards provide a snapshot of the businesses and professionals that earned the support of local residents throughout the voting process.
Businesses earning top honors can now proudly display their Best of Times recognition as a reflection of the support they have earned from the community they serve.
Folsom Times extends its congratulations to all winners, finalists and nominees, as well as its appreciation to the thousands of community members who participated in the voting process and helped make this year’s awards another success. Winners and runner ups will be notified in the coming weeks regarding award plaques and a community celebration event will be announced soon.
