Why Davis Events?

Ever found out about Picnic Day's epic parades and UC Davis showcases... after it's already over? Or scrolled through a dozen sites just to catch wind of the Downtown Holiday Candlelight Parade, only to miss the magic?

Imagine opening one perfect email every week, feeling that rush of excitement knowing you're first to know about Dia de Muertos vendors or Neighbors’ Night Out meetups. No more FOMO—just pure connection to the vibrant Davis scene you love.
