Davis Downtown

Davis Downtown Powered By The People. We invite students, residents and visitors to come shop, eat & vibe in downtown Davis.
(563)

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 shop

ping 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

Want to support Downtown Davis businesses without spending a dollar? 💛

Follow them on social media.

Seriously, it's one of the easiest and completely FREE ways to support the local businesses you love.

And there's a bonus for you too. Following your favorite downtown businesses is one of the best ways to hear about new menu items, upcoming events, special promotions, sales, and everything else they have going on.

So next time you're scrolling, take a few seconds to show some love to your favorite Downtown Davis businesses.

It costs nothing, takes almost no time, and can make a real difference for a local business. 💛

🎟️ THE FINAL GOLDEN TICKET IS HERE! ✨

We've hidden tickets all around Downtown Davis, you've followed the clues, and some very determined treasure hunters have tracked them down.

Now there's just ONE left. 👀

Today's final clue:

Some places in downtown are easy to recognize, even if you've never stopped to learn their story.

Look for a spot with a little more history than its surroundings. Once you think you've found the right area, don't assume the landmark itself is your final destination. Slow down, look around, and see what everyone else might be walking past. 🔎

🎁 Our final Golden Ticket features a prize from the UC Davis Downtown Store! 💙💛

A huge thank you to the UC Davis Downtown Store for donating the final prize, and to all of the Downtown Davis businesses that helped make the Pop Up Golden Ticket Hunt possible.

And thank YOU to everyone who followed the clues, explored downtown, and joined us for the hunt. 💛

There's only one ticket left.

Good luck, Davis. Let's see who finds it! 🎟️

🎟️ THE POP UP GOLDEN TICKET HUNT CONTINUES! ✨

Another Golden Ticket is officially hiding somewhere in Downtown Davis. 👀

Today's clue:

Thousands of people pass through this part of downtown, but how often do you actually stop and look around?

Once you figure out what that means, the real search begins. 🔎

Look carefully. This one could be easier to walk past than you think.

🎁 Today's Golden Ticket can be redeemed for a gift card to Maya's Authentic Mexican Food Restaurant!

A huge thank you to Maya's for donating today's prize and giving one lucky hunter another delicious reason to come back downtown. 🌮💛

Remember, once it's found, it's gone.

Good luck, Davis! 👀

SURPRISE... THE GOLDEN TICKETS ARE BACK! ✨🎟️

You thought the hunt was over? 👀

After all the fun we had during Downtown Discovery Fest, we decided we weren't quite done yet. Welcome to the Pop Up Golden Ticket Hunt!

A limited number of Golden Tickets are being hidden throughout Downtown Davis, and each one comes with a prize. Once a ticket is found, it's gone, so keep an eye on our social media for each new clue.

🔎 Watch our social media for clues

🎟️ Find the hidden Golden Ticket

📸 Claim it before someone else does

Now for today's clue...

You'll want to slow down and wander through one of Downtown Davis' greenest spaces. There are plenty of paths to take, plenty of things growing, and even more places where a Golden Ticket could disappear from view. 🌿👀

Pay attention to the little details and don't assume the first place you look is the right one.

🎁 Today's Golden Ticket features a prize from The Good People Farm! A huge thank you to them for joining the fun and donating today's prize.

Please note that the winner of this Golden Ticket must be 21 or older to claim the prize.

While you're hunting, make a day of it. Grab a coffee, stop for lunch, browse a few local shops, and enjoy some time exploring Downtown Davis.

The hunt is officially back. Good luck, Davis! 💛

Here's your sign to spend a day exploring the art of Downtown Davis. 🎨💛

Murals, sculptures, mosaics, galleries, public installations, and little details you might normally walk right past are waiting throughout downtown.

Make a day of it. Grab a coffee, wander a few blocks looking for your favorite pieces, stop into a gallery or local shop, take a break for lunch, then keep exploring. You might be surprised by how much art you can find within a short walk.

And that's part of the fun. You don't need a strict itinerary. Pick a street, start walking, and see what catches your eye.

Along the way, you're also supporting the shops, restaurants, cafés, galleries, and other local businesses that make Downtown Davis such a colorful and creative place.

Come downtown, look around, and experience Davis through its art. 🎨☀️
