Climb aboard a fire engine, sit in the driver’s seat of a garbage truck, meet cute animals and more at Folsom’s annual City Works Day on May 18.
The free, popular annual event is designed to educate the community about the City’s many programs and services.
City Works Day will feature City trucks, buses, cars and construction equipment to look at, sit in, and even honk. City staff members will be stationed at each vehicle to educate the community about their profession and City services.
Visitors can view the Fire Department rescue boat and fire engine, watch Curby the robot teach recycling, meet a Folsom Police Department K-9 and horse, and play fitness games with the City’s Parks and Recreation team and more.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
