César Chávez Day Celebration
April 22, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The City’s annual César Chávez Celebration will be held during the Davis Farmers Market, on Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Central Park, located at 401 C Street.
Sponsored by the City of Davis Human Relations Commission, this year’s theme is “Worker Unity Through All Professions” and community members of all ages are encouraged to attend this free event to celebrate and honor the work of civil rights leader César Chávez.
The program will include speakers from the United Farm Workers, the Bulosan Center, Peets United and others. Participants can expect performances, dancers and musical entertainment. The event will also host resource tables showcasing local organizations available throughout the event for information and conversation. A children’s art activity will also be offered.
“The civil rights work of César Chávez and others still continues to this day,” said Davis Mayor Will Arnold. “Social justice and community organizing are critical in promoting equity and diversity in our community. I hope everyone will join us to acknowledge and celebrate the important efforts of all those who work tirelessly toward equal rights and opportunities.”
