UC Davis Give Day 2026: Arts & Culture

04/02/2026

History in the making! ❤️🪶Join us for the Inaugural UC Davis Big Time — a night dedicated to Native community, tradition, and honoring the heritage of this land. The countdown to our 2026 program is officially on, and we are deeply honored to host a powerful lineup of traditional dancers and cultural leaders.

We invite you to gather with us starting at 5:00 PM for the Opening, followed by a series of sacred performance and ceremony. Throughout the evening, we will witness the traditions of the Patwin Dancers, Shu nu nu Shinal, and the Xabenapo Dancers. Following a time of honoring and community acknowledgment, the celebration continues with the Maidu Dancers and concludes with a final performance by the California Kulti Crew.

This is a time to learn, to honor, and to celebrate together. We can’t wait to see you there! 🌿
