Halloweekend 2026
The schedule
Davis is the bike capital of the United States: the first city in America to stripe a bike lane, the first ever awarded Platinum by the League of American Bicyclists, home of the US Bicycling Hall of Fame, and laid out with 108 miles of bike lanes and 63 miles of paths. Of course Halloween here arrives on two wheels. The festival is Saturday, October 31, 2026, and Halloween runs all month around it, so come for the day or make a car-free Halloweekend of it: step off the train, borrow a bike, and never touch a car.

The bike parade
11am to 12:30pm
The Zombie Bike ParadeEveryone is welcome at Community Park for the festival: on foot, on any wheels, in a wheelchair or powerchair, or pushing a stroller. The official bike parade is different. It rides just under five miles at a regular biking pace, so it is for bicycles (including e-bikes, cargo bikes, tandems and bike trailers) and only for riders who can keep that pace for the whole route. Helmets are required under 18 and strongly encouraged for everyone. If the parade is not the right fit, stay at Community Park: the shows, the entertainment stations and the 2:30 p.m. skydiving finale all happen there.
