The Davis Village Feast celebrates the Sacramento-region Farm to Fork season where we gather to enjoy and honor the bounty of our local farmers. In past years we have met together for an afternoon of dining at a communal long table in Davis Central Park, in the style of a Provencal Grand Aioli.

Once again, this year, because of the pandemic, we are hosting the entire event online!

Saturday, Oct 9th, 1:00pm to 2:30pm PST

The event is free to attend; there are three ways to participate (we hope you will do all three):

1) An online auction with one-of-a-kind experiences and items donated by chefs, restaurants, wineries, and community members. The auction is now OPEN for bidding! Bidding will close at 6 pm PST, Oct. 9. Register for the auction and start bidding on items here at https://www.auctria.com/auction/VILLAGEFEAST Please register early, before the live Zoom event begins!

2) A live Zoom hosted event, where we will be celebrating community, sharing our private gathering feasts virtually, playing Trivia games, closing out the online auctions, all the while raising funds for our missions. Please click on the link below to join the live Zoom event:

Zoom ID: 853 7284 5212 Passcode: aioli

The Zoom event will go from 1:00pm to 2:30pm PST, Saturday, Oct 9th. Please join a few minutes early. We will open the virtual doors at 12:45pm.

Note that you will need two devices: a computer or tablet to participate in the Zoom event, and phone or computer to bid on auction items.

3) Enjoying the Village Feast at home or in private gatherings. Where is a “virtual” feast without a “feast”? There will be several options for enjoying the Feast in private gatherings. We have once again partnered with local food providers and restaurants who are offering full Provencal-style prepared meals for pick-up or delivery, or ingredients to cook up a fabulous meal. If you are in Yolo county, be sure to stop by the Davis Food CO-OP to grab of local wine from their Village Feast inspired display.
