Here’s This Year’s Picnic in the Park Music Schedule!

Blue Blazes kicked things off yesterday. Here are the rest of the acts that will play this summer.

The Wednesday evening festivities are back in , which is a sign that summer is right around the corner. Picnic in the Park is back, and that's exciting.

Every Wednesday, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm, shop the farmers market, enjoy live music from local bands, buy dinner from our vendors at the International Food Faire, and purchase beer or wine from Davis Soroptomists. Read more on the City of Davis website.  

Here’s the music schedule for this summer. Let us know which acts you’re most excited about, and tell us who you wish was on the list. And happy Picnic in the Park-ing!
