In the Key of Davis is back for its 11th year! ✨ In the Key of Davis is back for its 11th year! ✨🎹

Free public pianos have returned to town for music-making, connection, and spontaneous fun! Stop by and play at one of these community locations:

🎶 Central Park (3rd & C Street)
🎶 Davis Food Co-Op (620 G Street)
🎶 Hunt-Boyer Plaza (2nd & E Street)
🎶 Davis Library (315 E 14th Street)
🎶 Wyatt Deck (UC Davis Arboretum)

Each piano has been donated by community members and painted by local students, including a brand new one by Kyle Monhollen’s Davis High art class!

🎨 This tradition began in 2015 when local teens Isabelle & Hailey Shapiro brought the idea to life after being inspired on a trip. Since then, they’ve helped grow the program in partnership with the City of Davis.

Pianos will be available through early fall (weather permitting). So grab a friend, sit down, and fill Downtown Davis with music! 🎼

The Final Budget Meeting is Tomorrow Night! 🚨 The Final Budget Meeting is Tomorrow Night! 🚨

There’s a lot coming up, and big moves are already in motion for Downtown Davis!

✅ The Downtown-Based Police Officer position is being restored in the City of Davis budget. This is a major step toward keeping downtown safe, welcoming, and vibrant for everyone - residents, visitors, workers, and businesses alike.

✅ Also included: A new Aquatics Maintenance Technician, who will support the soon-to-open Natalie Corona Splash Pad in Central Park. An exciting addition for families and community fun.

We know there are many competing priorities in the city budget, and we want to say thank you to the Davis City Council and the City of Davis for recognizing how important these investments are for the health and vitality of our downtown.

Thank you to:
Bapu Vaitla
Gloria Partida
Josh Chapman
Donna Neville
Linda Deos
and the entire City of Davis team

Happy Father’s Day from Downtown Davis! 🥳 To Happy Father’s Day from Downtown Davis! 🥳

Today we celebrate all the dads, father figures, and role models who show up with love, wisdom, and a sense of humor (even if the jokes are a little too classic).

Whether you're spending the day with family, grabbing a bite at a favorite spot, or just enjoying the sunshine downtown, we hope your day is filled with good company and great memories.

💙 Thanks to all the dads who help make our community stronger, kinder, and more connected.
