Neighbors are encouraged to host safe, small, outdoor gatherings and meet or re-connect with those in the neighborhood. The City encourages food safety, social distancing and face coverings as appropriate. Traditional event elements, such as fire truck and bus visits, will return again next year. To add to the festivities, there will be free giveaways throughout Davis Neighbors' Night Out.
