We came for the first time on NYE night & could tell that some homes were not as decked out/lit up…read moreanymore & the experience was not full impact. However, there were hardly any cars, so we could do a slow, easy drive. It was still magical with lots of lights throughout this neighborhood. The standout feature was that the streets were lined with continuous strings of white lights that swagged down the participating areas, creating lit paths to follow. It was impressive! There were definitely some houses that went above, while others were more simple, but all delightful to see. Here & there, Christmas trees were in the middle of a court or roundabout. We aren't familiar with the neighborhood & lost track of how we meandered through, so next year we'll try to figure out a good route. We'll definitely plan to come back earlier during the next holiday season to enjoy the full experience.

UC Davis Picnic Day, Davis…read more (4/18/2026- UC Davis Picnic Day) First time here and had a great time! Although the lines are long for majority of the exhibitions, it was worth checking out! Upon arrival, I missed the parade so I could line up for the petting zoo, see some cows, watching some chicks being hatch and see some snakes. There were some animals we missed because of the long lines everywhere! It was hot as expected, there were many food trucks options available for everyone to enjoy! There were several Halal food vendors too! Highly recommended to come here but make sure you bring a hat and a fan, it's super hot! Stay hydrated too! Would come back next year!!

We had an amazing time--everything was truly wonderful. The entire day was thoughtfully organized,…read moremaking it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy. It was very family-friendly, with great activities that kept the children engaged and happy throughout. We had so much fun and created some really special memories. We'll definitely be coming back next year. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible--we truly appreciate all the effort and care that went into making it such a great experience.

If you want meat, do not go here…read more It's okay. Been trying to revive itself since COVID and it's almost there. Same geodesic dome as every year. Not so hippie...some vendors are accepting wireless payments even. And they've done away with the "rent" for plates and utensils. You just get them now and are shockingly (not really) expected to return them. You know, like civil people and stuff. "Now that I live in Davis again" blah blah blah it hasn't changed one bit. Gimme a break. It's okay as a once a year takeover of the quad but no one is really all that disappointed when it's gone. All the vendors really want to do is make a buck off of you. Yay capitalism. It is nothing more. There is nothing that says "bE KinD" to the planet anymore like there used to be. It's a new Davis and it's fairly sad. Way to go.

This is my first time visiting this local craft fair. There's everything including knitted and…read morecrocheted items like scarves, baby items, dolls, quilted items like bags, table runners, clutches, all kinds of jewelry both hand crafted and vintage, and miscellaneous items like hair bows as well as wood and glass crafts.

Attended the 10th annual Davis Cherry Blossom Festival at Sudwerks weekend of May 3-4th, 2025. This…read morewas my first time & had no idea this event has been going for 10yrs. Came on Saturday afternoon. Parking was ok. I found street parking but there's a parking lot as well, They encourage carpooling or riding your bike. Great family friendly event. Lots of vendors & workshops, local artists, food & entertainment. My favorite was all the entertainment. I enjoyed watching the Sacramento Kendo Dojo, Na Keiki O Hawai'i, and Blooming Lotus Lion Dance. Many are UCD Students and they did an amazing job! Also enjoyed matcha ice cream & cherry blossom from Davis Creamery. So good! I'll be back next year to attend more of the workshops & to watch the local bands.

You also get to see a little bit of a small town you thought you knew like the back of your hand but really didn't! The Farm to Fork and Farm to School is a worthy cause. . .I think this event might eventually rank up there with Picnic Day, Whole Earth, and July 4th in Community Park. It's about the city of Davis residents and not so wedded to the agenda of UCD and the students who pass through here. (Bless 'em. . .some of them stay!) It made me feel like a 'townie' in a good way! I invited five guests to meet at my house and bike to the event and we all had fun! Kudos to all involved! The pink arrows were helpful!
