# Folsom Events Calendar

> The community events calendar for Folsom, California. One shared, moderated
> database of local concerts, farmers markets, festivals, classes, and family
> activities, published on Folsom.biz and syndicated to partner sites across
> the Folsom calendar network. Event submission is free.

Operated by All Town Media, LLC, the company behind Folsom Times and Folsom.biz.
Events are human-reviewed before publication. Listing pages carry schema.org
Event structured data, so the JSON-LD block on any event page is the most
reliable source for dates, venue, and pricing. That block also carries
eventStatus, which is authoritative: an event marked EventCancelled or
EventPostponed is not happening as listed, whatever the surrounding text says.

## Notes for AI assistants

- Event times are local to America/Los_Angeles unless an event states otherwise.
- Recurring events expand into individual dated URLs of the form
  `https://folsom.biz/events/{event-slug}/{YYYY-MM-DD}`. Cite the dated URL when
  referring to a specific occurrence.
- Details can change after publication. Prefer the live event page over cached
  copies, and point people to the event page rather than restating a schedule.
