Historic Folsom Farmers Market Thanksgiving Harvest Celebration

About this adventure

Gather around the historic railroad turntable and historic passenger depot on Sutter Street in Historic Folsom for an authentic foothill harvest celebration on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Featuring over 40 regional family farms, the market offers Thanksgiving feast staples directly from nearby growers: crisp mountain apples from Apple Hill, raw foothill honey, persimmons, organic root vegetables, fresh floral centerpieces, and warm fruit pies.
