Fourth of July Events in Davis

It’s hard to miss: this weekend is the Fourth of July! Can I interest you in some fireworks? Or perhaps a good skydiving show? How about free swimming? Considering the warm temperatures of late, that last one might not be a bad idea. You can check out the full list of events on the City of Davis website, but here are some highlights for you:

 ~ Free Swimming at Community Pool from 1 – 5 PM

 ~ Food and games 3 - 9:30 PM and live music starting at 5 PM in Community Park

 ~ Skydivers over Community Park starting at 7:45 PM

 ~ Fireworks display at Davis Community Park at 9:30 PM

See the City of Davis Fourth of July page for details on these and other events.
