The annual Celebrate Davis! festival, sponsored by the Davis Chamber of Commerce , is one of Davis’ biggest events of the year. Equal parts business expo, party, picnic, and outdoor fair – all capped off by a fireworks show – this event will take place at Community Park on the corner of F Street & Covell Blvd.

Booths will be sponsored by local businesses, civic organizations, and community groups with live entertainment. There will be a variety of food vendors offering an abundance of choices for a great dinner. Best of all, it’s free to attend!
