Your FestiFall Trick-or-Treat Playbook: A Stress-Free Evening in Folsom

You want the memories, not the meltdowns. Here’s a simple plan to make FestiFall Trick-or-Treat in Folsom smooth, safe, and super fun.

T-30 to T-10 minutes: Park & Prep
• Aim to arrive 20–30 minutes early; popular blocks fill up fast.
• Snap your “before” photo while costumes are pristine.
• Review your meet spot (one unique storefront or lamppost) with older kids.

Hour 1: The Sweet Circuit
• Start at the quieter end of the route if there is one (check the merchant map).
• Alternate treats with quick non-candy stops—stickers, crafts, or a photo op—so kids don’t blitz the bags in five minutes.
• Hydrate every few blocks. Excitement = thirsty gremlins.

Intermission: Snack & Check-In
• Take a 10-minute break on a bench or plaza; adjust layers, secure loose accessories, and triage candy (trade pile vs. keeper pile).

Hour 2: Victory Lap
• Hit any favorites you skipped.
• Grab a family photo at the biggest décor spot—ask another parent and offer to return the favor.
• End near your parking area to avoid a weary trek.

Packing list (screenshot me):
• Water bottles, wipes, mini hand-sanitizer
• Extra tote or zip bag for candy overflow
• Safety pins, band-aids, tiny flashlight/glow sticks
• Layered tops + comfy shoes (for adults too)

Costumes that go the distance
• Skip floor-length hems and masks that block vision.
• Consider face paint instead of full masks for little ones.
• If a prop is essential, make it soft foam or plush.

Money & merchants
Bring a card and a little cash—some shops will run FestiFall specials on cocoa, cider, snacks, or merch. It’s a great time to support the businesses that make the night happen.

Safety basics
• Cross at signals and listen for volunteer guidance.
• Keep leashes short in crowds if you’re bringing the dog.
• Check allergy-safe tables if your child has restrictions.

Wrap with cocoa, a quick costume re-wear at home (because joy), and a promise to do it again next year.

How to Pick the Perfect Glass Pumpkin (Your 5-Minute Buyer’s Guide)

So many beauties, so little trunk space. Here’s how to choose a glass pumpkin you’ll adore for years.

1) Start with color chemistry
• Classic harvest: ambers, cinnamons, opaque whites—easy to style anywhere.
• Moody modern: smoky grays, inky blues, emeralds—great with dark wood and matte black.
• Showstopper: iridescents, confetti mixes, or metallic lusters—centerpiece energy.
2) Study the stem
Stems are personality. Look for tight spirals (playful), elongated twists (elegant), or leaf accents (botanical). Gently check stability; those curls are sturdy but appreciate respect.

3) Consider scale & grouping
• Solo star: a larger pumpkin (8–10") anchors a dining or entry table.
• Trio logic: one tall, one medium, one small; vary colors/finishes for depth.
• Mantle math: odd numbers read naturally—try 3 or 5 pieces, mixed with candles.
4) Seek the maker’s hand
Each piece is individually crafted by one of 11 local glassblowers. Ask about the artist and technique (cane, frit, encalmo); a little provenance makes a great story when guests admire your display.
5) Match your lifestyle
• Homes with kids/pets: pick weighted bases and shorter stems.
• Small spaces: choose mini pumpkins and acorns for shelves and desks.
• Gift giving: the sweet-spot size (4–6") fits most styles and budgets.
6) Care & display
Dust with a soft cloth; avoid harsh cleaners. For seasonal flair, layer pumpkins on straw rounds,
books, or a runner; add eucalyptus or fairy lights for a cozy glow.
7) Don’t overthink it
When a piece makes you grin—that’s your pumpkin.


Why your purchase matters
A portion of proceeds supports the Folsom Parks & Recreation Community Arts Education Programs. Your perfect pick funds the next perfect class.

CTA: Stroll the straw bales, watch a live glassblowing demo, and let your heart choose. You’ll know it when you see it.

How the Radio Magic Works (and What You’ll Hear)

A radio play is theater you can see being made. Here’s how Sutter Street Theatre’s War of the Worlds on Oct 11 will cast its spell—and how to enjoy every detail.

The Setup

• Actors at vintage mics: The cast voices news anchors, scientists, bystanders—switching characters with nothing but posture and tone. • Live foley table: A treasure trove of gadgets (gravel box, door latch, metal sheet, wind machine). Watch for the heat-ray sound: it’s always clever. • Music & cues: Period-style stingers heighten those “we interrupt this program” moments.

The Format

The script mimics a normal broadcast being hijacked by breaking news. You’ll hear dance music, then a bulletin… a remote report from a farm… a studio update… and, suddenly, something that doesn’t sound human. That structure is why the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast felt so real—listeners were primed to trust the format.

Listening Tips

• Follow the microphones: When actors shift positions, a new character is being “patched in.” • Track the soundscape: Foley tells you location—hollow reverb for large spaces, cloth rustle for close whispers, static for remote field lines. • Savor the silences: A breath before a bulletin is a promise—and a warning. A Quick Note on 1938
Welles’ Mercury Theatre on the Air aired the show on Oct 30, 1938. Newspapers soon ran with tales of mass panic; modern studies suggest the reaction was significant but not universal—lots of calls to stations and police, excited (and sometimes anxious) listeners, and a national debate about broadcast responsibility. The legend stuck because the artistry was that convincing.

Who Will Love This

• Theatre fans who geek out on craft • History and media nerds • Halloween season seekers who prefer suspense over gore

Make the Most of It
Arrive a touch early to catch the pre-show ambience, then plan a post-show cocoa/debrief along Sutter Street. You’ll want to discuss how they made that tripod sound.

How to “Survive” Haunted History at the Folsom History Museum

Brave the Haunted History outdoor haunted house like a pro with this quick plan: 1) Book early, aim smart
Prime nights go first. Weeknights = shorter lines, Friday/Saturday = peak vibes. Pick your poison and buy tickets now.

2) Dress for dread (and walking)
Closed-toe shoes with grip, layers for the evening chill, and pockets that zip. Long capes look great—until they meet a boardwalk knot.

3) Squad strategy • Front: the bold friend who doesn’t freeze. • Middle: the jumpy one (maximum protection). • Back: tall human shield who can laugh off a whisper behind the ear.

4) Phone etiquette
Snap pics before/after. Inside scenes, save your night vision and the actors’ timing—phones away = better frights.

5) Expect the 1800s to misbehave
This year is more immersive and scarier: tighter spaces, darker corners, stronger story beats. You’ll get misdirection (sound left, scare right), “safe” lulls before sudden spikes, and the eerie feeling that the past is walking in step with you.

6) Safety & comfort
Follow staff directions; no touching actors, no running. If anyone needs out, ask for a safety exit—haunts have them. Sensitive to fog/strobes? Check the advisory in advance.

7) Make it a night
Grab dinner in Historic Folsom, hit Haunted History, then debrief over a hot cocoa or late dessert. You’ll want time to compare the one scare that got everyone.

Packing list (screenshot this): • Closed-toe shoes • Layered jacket • Portable sanitizer • Hair tie / hat (wind + fog) • Tissues (nervous laughter tears count) • Tickets + ID + payment for snacks/merch

With a little prep, you’ll ride the line between fear and fun—exactly where Haunted History wants you.

From Veneto to Folsom: Ciao Folsom Celebrates Sister‑City Spirit

Folsom’s community calendar each September features one of its most colorful events: Ciao Folsom, a festive celebration of the city’s twinning with Pieve del Grappa, Italy. Held in the heart of Historic Folsom’s Sutter Street Plaza, the 2025 edition falls on September 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and draws crowds with its Italian market fare, cultural performances, and family-friendly bustle—all free to attend.

Pieve del Grappa is situated in Treviso province within Italy’s Veneto region, and was created in 2019 through a merger of two towns, Crespano del Grappa and Paderno del Grappa. The sister‑city relationship began in 2000, officially linking Folsom and Crespano del Grappa. After the Italian municipalities merged, the bond continued seamlessly with the new entity, Pieve del Grappa.

Over the past decades, Folsom has honored this relationship through joint cultural events: bocce ball quandaries, language exchanges at the Murer House Foundation, and a shared celebration of Italian food, wine, and community heritage. Ciao Folsom manifests this synergy at outdoor gatherings where stalls offer prosciutto‑wrapped delights and artisan gelato, and musicians perform Italian folk songs or modern sets inspired by Italian pop.

In previous years, attendees have remarked that the market’s Italian twist isn’t merely aesthetic—it’s educational: vendors proudly wear their Venetian roots, and market-goers often learn the origins of grappa and regional cheeses while walking along Sutter Street. Local nonprofits and cultural groups bring cooking demonstrations and bocce clinics that echo the Murer House’s mission to promote language and immigrant heritage awareness.

For Folsom locals, Ciao Folsom is more than a themed farmers market—it’s a family reunion, a sensory joyride to Italy in California, and a celebration of a 25‑year cultural partnership rooted in respect, shared stories, and community exchange. Whether you’re sampling Italian olive oils or cheering bocce matches, you’re partaking in something global yet rooted firmly in Folsom soil.

Peaches in the Plaza: Folsom’s Sweetest Summer Tradition

Every August, Folsom reimagines Historic Plaza as a peach paradise—welcome to Peaches in the Plaza, 2025 edition! From 9 AM to 2 PM on AUgust 3rd, this free community festival showcases Northern California’s prized peach harvest alongside live music, tasty bites, and family fun. Local farms bring crates of ripe peaches for sampling and sale, while food vendors whip up peach-inspired creations—think peach pies, smoothies, BBQ sauce, salsas, fruit cups, ice cream, kombucha, and more. The variety is vast and creative, underlining California’s reputation as the country’s top peach producer. Children buzz between carnival-style games, face painting, and interactive booths. The ever-popular peach‑eating contest draws enthusiastic competitors (and plenty of laughs). Craft tables and raffles round out the lineup, offering prizes and keepsakes for kids and families alike. Music fills the amphitheater from mid-morning to early afternoon, spotlighting local bands that keep the festive energy alive. The event’s footprint stays centered on Sutter Street Plaza and Railroad Turntable, which organizers say improves traffic flow compared to prior road closures—a change welcomed by residents. For merchants and restaurants in the Historic District, the festival is a boon. Local retailers report high foot traffic, and visitors often combine the festival with shopping or brunch nearby. It’s become a beloved summer ritual for many families—some attending year after year to catch up with neighbors and indulge in peachy treats. Whether you're there for juicy peach slices, live tunes on a sunny morning, or crafting memories at the kids’ zone, Peaches in the Plaza blends agriculture, community, and fun into one unforgettable Folsom experience.

Where to Find the Last Merlino’s Freeze in Sacramento

From Stockton Blvd to the Ballpark: The Legacy of Merlino’s

Sacramento summers are not for the faint of heart. Triple-digit heatwaves call for drastic (and delicious) measures — and nothing cools like a Merlino’s Freeze. Once found throughout the city in brightly painted stands, Merlino’s disappeared from the streets in 2000, leaving a hole in the city’s collective sweet tooth.

But not all is lost.

Merlino’s now operates exclusively out of Sutter Health Park during home games, thanks to its resurrection by the River Cats. Fans can grab a cup of the classic orange Freeze — or a new flavor twist — and soak in the same frosty goodness that once ruled the town.

And if you’re more of a drive-up diner type? Head to Hagen’s Orange Freeze in Carmichael. Still using the original Merlino’s recipes, and run by two longtime employees of the OG stand, Hagen’s offers 20 flavors and a side of Sacramento history. It’s the best place to relive (or rediscover) a hometown classic.



The Freeze is Still Cool

Orange. Iconic. Ice-cold.
Merlino’s Freeze is back in action at Sutter Health Park! Grab a taste of Sacramento history — and beat the heat with a local legend. Bonus tip: Hagen’s in Carmichael serves the OG recipe with 20+ frosty flavors. 🍊❄️
