A Zombie love letter to Davis: the 2026 festival

Nearly 2,500 people, five TV stations, more than one million impressions, and the festival has helped raise more than $60,000 for charity over eight festivals.

The eighth Zombie Bike Parade Festival fell on Halloween day, and Davis showed up. Nearly 2,500 people came through Community Park and Mace Ranch Park, and Halloween day in Davis served an estimated 5,000+ people.

Every major Sacramento TV station covered it, KCRA 3 live at the festival, and the brand reached the region more than one million times. The festival raised more than $33,000 this year, about $11,000 of it for NorCal Trykers, and has helped raise more than $60,000 for charity across eight festivals.

As director I build the brand, the marketing and the media. Thank you to every sponsor, partner, volunteer and Halloween creature, and to Action Flipbooks for launching the website. The full thank-you letter is at zombiebikeparade.com.
