An Unforgettable Evening on the Rainbow Bridge
Celebrating 80 Years of Folsom
September 13th, 2026
Celebrate Folsom’s 80th year of cityhood with an extraordinary dining experience unlike any other. As the sun sets over the iconic Rainbow Bridge, guests will gather for a beautifully curated multi-course dinner prepared by some of the region’s most talented chefs. It’s a one-of-a-kind evening honoring the people, flavors, and community that make Folsom such a special place to call home.
A Celebration That Extends Beyond the Bridge
The celebration will extend beyond those seated at the dinner table. The 10-minute drone show, sponsored by Dignity Health and featuring 250 drones, is being designed as a community-visible experience, allowing residents throughout the surrounding area to share in the celebration. The customized aerial presentation will recognize both the 250th anniversary of the United States and 80 years of the City of Folsom and the Folsom Chamber of Commerce, creating a memorable finale above one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
