Cattle Drive at 6pm July 1st in Folsom CA
Time to cowboy up! The annual Folsom Pro Rodeo starts Thursday night July 2nd at 6pm with the cattle drive on Wednesday July 1st on Sutter Street followed by live music in the historic district. There is also the 1 mile footrace called the Bullipedes which starts at 5pm just before the cattledrive.
This year with July 4th falling on a Saturday you’ll need to get your tickets early. Look for the Family Discount Package online and don’t forget to register your little ones for the Muttin’ Busting contest.
One of the great things about going to the rodeo over the 4th of July is the fireworks display put on each night at the conclusion of the rodeo. Since this time of year is so dry and dangerous and the types of fireworks considered “safe & sane” are getting in the words of my children “boring” having the option of seeing a great show is just another bonus to a night of family fun.
Just remember to get to Lion’s Park early since the area once available has been taken by the new library and seating is limited. You can pay the extra to park close by as some of the local businesses will be charging to use their parking lots or you can pay to shuttle from Wal Mart. Remember to bring your cooler’s full of drinks and lawn chairs and spray bottles…it’s gonna be hot!
