December to Remember 2022 Recap

Participate in our festive December activities and enjoy the holiday season in downtown Davis!

11th Annual Window Decorating Contest + Downtown Festivities

The City of Davis’ Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony was a festive, live event this year. On December 1st, the beloved Candlelight Parade was back for the first time since 2019, beginning at the Davis Food Co-op and ending at E Street Plaza. The City of Davis hosted a number of performances in E Street Plaza all evening long, along with a horse and carriage ride and other family-friendly attractions. It was definitely an evening to remember!

Davis Downtown “unwrapped” the town on December 1st as well.

December 1st to 20th – Window Decorating Contest:

Many downtown businesses went all-out to decorate their storefronts and windows. More than 20 businesses participated in the 11th annual Window Decorating Contest.

December 1st to 20th – Elf on the Shelf Scavenger Hunt:

Elf on the Shelf is the new “Where’s Waldo”! Beloved to children, we joined this renewed fad that has swept the nation. By finding the elf at participating businesses, families found the elves’ secret names and were entered to win great prizes.

December 1st to 20th – Wreath Decorating Contest:

Wreaths were provided by the DDBA to community members who wished to decorate them and allowed us to display them in downtown businesses.

We encouraged participants to decorate their wreath to resemble what the holiday season meant to them! Community votes determined the winner of an awesome gift card!
