To register for this event please click herePajamarino4:45 p.m., Amtrak Train Station, 840 2nd Street
Pajamarino, one of the university's longest-standing traditions, began in 1912, when students snuck out of their dorm rooms in the middle of the night to greet returning alumni at the train station. Alumni and students, as well as their families, are invited to this year’s event, which will be held at the Davis Amtrak Station. Enjoy crafts from A Better Place to Bead, food from Woodstocks, Davis Creamery, Dos Coyotes and Vitamin Water as well as entertainment provided by the Lounge Lizards, the Cal Aggie Marching Band-uh and the Cal Aggie Marching Band Alumni Association. Following the event, at approximately 6:30 p.m., the marching band will lead people to the Homecoming Rally at the Davis Commons where the football team, band and spirit squad will be featured.
Special thanks to our sponsors Liberty Mutual, Bank of America, SunPower and Parlin Development Company.
