Every Saturday, one of the nation’s best farmers markets sells ready-made meals, desserts, produce from regional farms, and music. On Wednesdays mid-March through October, it hosts Picnic in the Park for the whole town.

Ashley Bruhn (popular Davis-based blogger of Hither & Thither) shares her favorite spots around Davis for eating, drinking and shopping.

Davis boasts wide streets and numerous bike paths. Since the 1960s, Davis has had one of the highest cyclist per capita ratios in the nation.

Join one of a number of running groups, including the Golden Valley Harriers, to challenge yourself while making friends. The city has miles of bike paths to keep you safe from traffic and several charity runs during the year.

While not all of the city's cultural activities happen on campus, it's a wonderful place to start. Discover all of the art museums, music and performance venues that offer both ticketed and free events around the year. 

In addition to the excellent schools, Davis has been remarked for being one of the most family-friendly cities in California. Explore all that there is to do with school-aged children in Yolo County including museums, outdoor activities, parks, and more!
