As the heart of the Davis community, the downtown is a wonderful destination that is powered by unique businesses and by you! It's cycle-centric, supports an active lifestyle and has direct links to UC Davis, the arboretum and train station. Ask anyone what makes Davis special, and you will certainly hear, “It’s about the people.” This is particularly relevant to our downtown, as the personal shopping experience is something not typically found in big box stores. Downtown Davis is powered by the people—shop, café and business owners, employees, students, families and visitors. The Davis Downtown Business Association (DDBA) is a steward of the downtown. Our team's energies and funds go toward programs that benefit our businesses directly and also indirectly through events, initiatives and improvements toward our downtown environment and aesthetics. Your support of the downtown and the DDBA helps our community retain its charm and economic vitality. To learn more about the downtown and the DDBA visit www.DavisDowntown.com

Free movies and popcorn in Downtown Davis! 🍿🎬

The Davis Odd Fellows Classic Film Fest is back for three Sundays in November, and this time they're bringing some classic laughs to the big screen!

This year's theme is **Screwball Comedies of the 1960s and 1970s**, featuring three films full of memorable characters, ridiculous situations, and plenty of laughs.

Here's what's showing:

🎬 **November 1: One, Two, Three (1961)**

Directed by Billy Wilder and starring James Cagney, this fast paced political comedy kicks off the series.

🎬 **November 8: The Producers (1968)**

Mel Brooks' classic comedy starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder follows an accountant and a theater producer who come up with a wild scheme to get rich.

🎬 **November 15: What's Up, Doc? (1972)**

Starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal, this comedy takes place in San Francisco, where a mix up involving identical bags leads to complete chaos.

And there's more to enjoy than the movies themselves! Davis Enterprise film critic Derrick Bang will share fun facts, behind the scenes details, and things to watch for before each screening, followed by a Q&A afterward.

According to Bazooka will also perform before each movie!

**Best of all, admission and popcorn are FREE!** Donations are appreciated to help support the film series, and the bar will be open for b**r, w**e, and soft drinks.

📍 Davis Odd Fellows Hall, 415 2nd Street
📅 November 1, 8, and 15
🚪 Doors open at 6:29 PM
🎥 Movies begin at 7:01 PM

Grab a friend, enjoy some popcorn, and spend your Sunday evening laughing along with some classic films in Downtown Davis! ❤️

A safer Downtown Davis starts with working together! 🤝

We brought together Downtown Davis business owners, managers, representatives from the City of Davis, and the Davis Police Department for our Safety Matters Mixer at the Pence Gallery.

The evening was an opportunity to have open conversations about community safety, share concerns, exchange ideas, and discuss ways we can work together to make downtown a safer and more welcoming place for everyone.

We know that the people who work downtown every day have valuable perspectives, and creating opportunities for those voices to be heard is an important part of moving our community forward.

A big thank you to everyone who attended, shared their thoughts, and contributed to the conversation. We also appreciate our city and police representatives for taking the time to connect directly with our downtown business community.

The conversation doesn't end here! Downtown business owners and managers can continue sharing safety questions and concerns through our Ask Sergeant Matt newsletter feature by emailing [email protected].

We're looking forward to continuing these conversations and working together to make Downtown Davis the best it can be. ❤️

Join us on Saturday, October 31, from 3 to 5 PM for the Downtown Davis Treat Trail! Participating businesses throughout Downtown Davis and Davis Commons will be welcoming families for an afternoon of trick or treating, candy, and community fun.

Before the festivities begin, we want to give a HUGE thank you to our sponsors, Cache Produce and Yes on Measure W, Willowgrove, along with all the amazing downtown businesses participating in this year's event! ❤️

Cache Produce is a certified organic grower, packer, and shipper with more than 70 years of agricultural experience. From seed to table, they work with growing regions across the western United States and Mexico to supply organic produce while supporting sustainable farming practices and the communities they serve.

Willowgrove is a proposed new neighborhood in northeast Davis that would bring 1,250 homes, including 250 deed restricted affordable homes, along with parks, recreational facilities, walking and biking trails, and community gathering spaces. The project is on the November 3 ballot as Measure W, giving Davis voters the opportunity to decide whether it moves forward.

We're incredibly grateful to both sponsors for supporting this year's Treat Trail and helping make this community celebration possible.

And of course, a special thank you to every participating Downtown Davis business! Your generosity, time, and Halloween spirit are what bring this event to life year after year.

We can't wait to see everyone downtown for an afternoon of costumes, candy, and community fun! 👻🎃

Something new is cooking in Downtown Davis! 👀🍽️

Say hello to Munchie Man, a funky new bistro getting ready to open at 113 D Street!

Behind the restaurant is Christopher Fairman, a Sacramento native with more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry. What started as a weekly pop up in 2023 is now becoming his very first restaurant, and he's chosen Downtown Davis as its home!

Here's what makes Munchie Man especially interesting. The menu is inspired by Christopher's travels, favorite restaurants, personal memories, and the people he's met along the way. From exploring food in Japan and Thailand to cooking in Mexico City, he's bringing years of experiences and inspiration together under one roof.

And there's a fun story behind the name, too! Christopher created the Munchie Man character because he wanted the focus to be on the food, hospitality, and experience rather than the person behind the kitchen.

The goal is to create a welcoming neighborhood spot where people can grab a meal, catch up with friends, celebrate something special, or simply enjoy good food.

📍 113 D Street, Downtown Davis

We're excited to welcome Munchie Man to the neighborhood! Keep an eye out for opening updates, and check out munchiemandavis.com to learn more about the story behind this new restaurant. ❤️
