• The Davis Farmers Market's “Picnic in the Park” series returned last week and will continue every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. featuring live music and entertainment.

“A local band will play each night,” the market's website stated. “There will be children's entertainment, loads of food vendors and plenty of opportunity to gather as a community.”

Wednesdays will swap back to a traditional farmers market open 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. after Sept. 13.

“I'm so happy because I really feel like we broke people's hearts,” Randii MacNear, executive director of the Davis Farmers Market Alliance, said regarding the redesigned layout. “There was no solution except to try to bring it back — if we could find a way.”

The new layout will feature food trucks in the patio area, the band at the top of the stairs facing the lawn and patrons will be encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets for picknicking.

Tables and chairs will no longer be provided, according to the website.

“During operating hours, the market will have an open-container permit allowing patrons to consume alcohol on the grassy area, whether it's a bottle of wine from Heringer Estates or a beer they bought from a downtown brewery or from home,” the website emphasized.

Julie & The Jukes, a Northern California classic blues band, will perform during the upcoming event Wednesday, May 24.

“Julie and the Jukes bring to life the classic Chicago blues of Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf, the Memphis sounds of B.B. King and the Texas style of Freddie King,” the event's website highlighted.
