The Mondavi Center is the region’s premier performing arts venue exploring the full range of the performing arts, from the traditional to the innovative.

Presenting a wide variety of music, dance, speakers, and comedians, the Mondavi Center offers special discounts and opportunities to encourage UC Davis students to get involved and come see a show.

The Mondavi Center also has a Student Lounge on the 3rd floor that hosts a variety of events and is open for studying during the week days.

Student Socials

Come hang out at our pre-event student socials in the Mondavi Center Student Lounge!

As a currently enrolled UC Davis student, these free socials are just for you and take place one hour before the show.

We’ll have Woodstock’s Pizza, music, and awesome giveaways too, while supplies last. UC Davis students must also have a performance ticket in order to attend.

Thank you to our food sponsor Woodstock’s Pizza
