Historic Folsom prepares for 57th annual Spring Arts and Craft Fair

One of Northern California's most enduring community traditions returns this spring as Historic Folsom hosts its 57th annual Spring Arts and Craft Fair on April 19, featuring more than 200 artisan vendors along the charming streets of downtown. The curated craft fair will transform Sutter Street and the Public Plaza near the landmark train turntable into an open-air marketplace showcasing handmade treasures from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. Visitors can browse fine art, jewelry, home décor, textiles, pottery and seasonal gifts while enjoying live entertainment, face painting and cuisine from food trucks and local restaurants. The event's longevity speaks to its popularity among vendors and attendees who return year after year to support local artisans and celebrate handcrafted goods. Aspiring vendors should mark their calendars for mid-January, when registration opens for craft makers interested in participating in this long-standing Folsom tradition. Details and application information will be available on the event's vendor information page historicfolsom.org/vendors Limited parking will be available at 905 Leidesdorff St. for a $5 cash donation, which supports additional event staffing. Organizers encourage attendees to arrive early, carpool or use rideshare services to ease parking demand and ensure a smooth experience at this popular community gathering.
