Rising from the sidewalk with vibrant tiles and po Rising from the sidewalk with vibrant tiles and powerful symbolism, the "Phoenix" mosaic sculpture by artist Mark Rivera is a striking reminder of transformation, renewal, and the creativity that flows through Downtown Davis.

You can find this piece tucked on the corner of 3rd and D Street, where it quietly catches the eyes of passersby with its detailed design and fiery colors. Like the mythological bird it represents, the sculpture speaks to the spirit of rising stronger and bolder - something that resonates deeply with the Davis community.

But this mosaic is just one of many incredible pieces of public art waiting to be discovered throughout downtown. From murals and sculptures to hidden installations, Davis is a living gallery where creativity is always on display.

✨ Looking for something new to do? Grab a friend, go for a stroll, and take yourself on a self-guided art walk. There’s no ticket, no schedule - just you, the town, and a lot of beautiful surprises.

Art is all around us! Let it inspire your next downtown adventure.

Get ready for a flavor-packed night in Downtown Da Get ready for a flavor-packed night in Downtown Davis! 🌱✨

Red 88 is teaming up with Cool Cuisine for a one-night-only 5-course vegan dinner on June 26, blending Southern comfort with bold Pan-Asian influences. Whether you're a dedicated foodie or just love trying something new, this dinner is a must.

🍽️ The 5-Course Lineup:

Course 1: Coconut & Watermelon Gazpacho
A refreshing start to the evening. Chilled watermelon and coconut are blended with tomato, onion, garlic, and cilantro for a light, tropical gazpacho. Strained smooth and served in signature teacups with a bright cilantro garnish.

Course 2: Sage Hush Puppy Fritters
Golden cornmeal fritters laced with earthy sage, fried to crisp perfection. Served with house-made lemongrass dipping sauce and topped with fragrant fried basil leaves for a flavorful crunch.

Course 3: Thai Cookout Salad
A fresh take on a Southern cookout classic. Cold rotini pasta tossed with roasted broccoli, red grapes, and a ginger vinaigrette that balances sweet and tangy notes.

Course 4: Blackened Jambalaya
A hearty and smoky fusion of rice, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and celery simmered with cumin and paprika. Finished with pan-seared plant-based chicken and shiitake mushrooms coated in bold blackened seasoning.

Course 5: Sticky Mango King Cake
A playful twist on a classic Mardi Gras dessert. Sticky rice stuffed inside a soft king cake, filled with coconut cream and candied ginger, then glazed with mango and finished with sparkling purple, green, and gold sugar.

📍 Location: Red 88 Noodle Bar
🗓 Date: June 26, 2025
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (Please arrive 15 minutes early)
🎟 Pricing:
$69 – 5-Course Dinner + Mocktail Pairing
