## About

Historic Folsom kicks off the Christmas season with its beloved Sutter Street tree lighting celebration centered around the historic railroad turntable and plaza. Sutter Street is closed to vehicular traffic, allowing families to stroll among historic Gold Rush storefronts draped in pine garland and twinkling lights. Festivities include performances by local school bands, caroling quartets, complimentary hot cider, horse-drawn wagon rides, Santa arriving on a vintage fire truck, and the countdown to light the city's towering decorated evergreen.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Pedestrian-only street closure offers open, paved streets and sidewalks ideal for family wagons and strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Public restrooms with baby changing tables are located at the Historic Folsom Station and Sutter Street public plazas.
• Age Suitability: All ages.
• Sensory Tips: Festive holiday street crowd; quiet areas can be found along the American River bike trail entrance near the depot plaza.
