Some community traditions are wonderfully specific to their town. For me, Davis has one that involves bicycles, costumes, and zombies.
In September 2026, I shared that I had participated in the Zombie Bike Parade since its first year in 2019 and that I was proud to be a sponsor. Watching something local grow is part of the fun.
It is also part of why I care about the place around a home. Community happens when people show up, contribute, and make room for a little imagination. This is a reflection on that involvement; check the event organizer’s current information when planning to attend a future parade.
