American River Brewing Company, Auburn Alehouse, Lockdown Brewery, Loomis Basin Brewing Company and Mraz Brewing Company will serve beer.

Twenty fine artists from throughout northern California will display their work, which will be available for sale that evening.

The event takes place on the upper deck of the Historic District’s 4-story brick parking structure on Leidesdorff and Reading streets, offering guests panoramic views of the city. Presented by the Folsom Historic District, Top of Folsom benefits the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary and the Folsom Historic District. Animals from the zoo will make special appearances.
