🧟♀️💀 Today we at the Zombie Bike Parade are raising our hands (and phalanges) to celebrate our founding organization and primary event host — the Davis Odd Fellows!
👁️ The Independent Order of Odd Fellows has been part of Davis since 1870 — long before the city was even officially established. They’re the oldest continuously operating organization in town, guided by timeless principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth — values that inspire everything we do here at the Zombie Bike Parade Halloweekend Festival.
⚡️ This festival was born from the Odd Fellows’ spirit of service and community. They founded and continue to host it each year, in partnership with The Bike Campaign and now the Davis Bike Club. Every fall, dozens of Odd Fellows members sponsor, plan, and help keep this beloved community tradition alive.
But of course… we don’t do it alone! 🎃💀😈🧙🧟♀️
Over the years, the Zombie Bike Parade has united an incredible mix of community groups — from robotics and art clubs to youth organizations and local nonprofits. Just visit our homepage at www.zombiebikeparade.com and keep scrolling to see the many like-minded groups that bring this festival to its monstrous potential.
🎉 In total, 150+ local sponsors, collaborators, and media partners come together to make this undead weekend possible. You are all deeply appreciated — and we’ll be giving everyone their well-earned recognition during the emcee remarks before the skydiving grand finale at Community Park on Sunday, October 26th — the main day of our festival!
🧠 Huge thanks to the Davis Odd Fellows — the beating heart (and reanimated soul) of the entire celebration!
