Picnic Day at UC Davis

It’s the Calendar editor’s white whale: Picnic Day. A free UC Davis open house event so big and with so many different activities it defies all attempts at blurbing. Here goes nothing. At Picnic Day, you could pet some animals, taste some honey, test your water for metals, receive some plants, traverse a laser maze, tour a radio station, launch a weather balloon, do a scavenger hunt, watch brass bands battle it out, see a parade, eat eats, drink drinks, study oaks, hatch chicks, accidentally insult a pig, milk a goat, control mosquitos and countless more activities—more than any one event conglomerator should ever be expected to summarize. Don’t miss it. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, picnicday.ucdavis.edu.
