Davis Craft and Vintage Fair
2025-09-07 10:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Central Park – Davis, 5th St & B St, Davis, CA, 95616, United States
Davis Craft and Vintage Fair began as the Square Tomatoes Craft Fair more than 10 years ago! The event was started by instructors from the UC Davis Craft Center in order to have a monthly craft fair for local artisans and the local community. We embraced local vintage vendors in 2017, we’ve grown and we are still home to local artists and makers from the Davis and greater Sacramento area.
We collaborate with local non-profits starting with Couleurs Vives Art Studio who joined us in 2018! Many of our talented vendors can be found at other festivals like the Davis Phoenix Coalition’s Pride Fest, the I-House’s International Festival, and 2nd Friday Art Abouts on E Street Plaza!
Expect to see friendly vendors with local handmade and original art, crafts, quality vintage items, upcycled treasures, earth-friendly creations, good food, and more! Free live music fills the open space for a lively atmosphere so be sure to stop by and join us!

Mama, this is a special mini-retreat focused on the mental load of mothering! Have you noticed that you constantly have a running list of to-dos? Food, activities, health care appointments, play dates, work responsibilities, and school events are only a few of the many. Some of us don’t even realize that we carry this big mental load and wonder why we’re exhausted and overwhelmed. In this circle, we’ll be exploring the mental load of mothering and its impacts so we can live our lives with greater awareness and freedom. Within a small group, we connect, explore the pre-selected theme, eat yummy food, and enjoy memorable activities together. Pre-purchase your ticket (https://tocarrywonder.com/davis-womens-circles/). Sliding-scale tickets available.
