Drag Queen Taryn Thru-u at the 2007 show—making her annual visit as everyone's favourite Granny
Davis is Burning is an annual drag show and competition hosted by Delta Lambda Phi, the fraternity for Gay, Bisexual & Progressive Men. The 27th Annual Davis is Burning will be held 2PM and 7PM on Saturday, January 14, 2017 at the UC Davis Wright Theater. Check out the Official DiB Website or Facebook Event for the most up-to-date information about the show!
The drag show initially began in 1990 as an event held in a DLP brother's home, but grew in size until it took over the 3rd & B Teen Center. Eventually, as the event grew, the locations moved to the Veteran's Memorial Center, located on the corner of 14th and B, where it was held for many years. From 2008 to 2013 Davis is Burning moved to Freeborn Hall on the UC Davis campus. This year 2014, it's the first time we're doing at Wright Theatre on UCD Campus since Freeborn is going to be demolished.
The program of Davis is Burning consists of acts (groups or solos) performing songs, dance numbers, runway struts, and comedic routines over the span of over two hours. Mixed in between the acts are the introduction and acknowledgments of the DLP brothers, the drag king and queen competition, comedic videos. In the past, the program consisted of the acts of everyone who applied, but because of the growth in popularity and attendance, the show is now limited to those who pass their auditions—i.e. not all acts will make it to the final show.
Davis is Burning is arguably the biggest and most respected drag performance in Northern California—It also happens to be the only one—and is also a great way to get the most use out of your Halloween costume.

INFO FROM THE FACEBOOK PAGE: "Grab something old, buy yourself a little something new, assume that something's borrowed, and hold your breath 'til you're blue, ladies and gents! Because, though there may be an aisle and a bouquet, forget the bride ... THE DIVAS ARE COMING!
For their annual drag-tastic event, the progressive brothers of Delta Lambda Phi cordially invite you to a celebration bound to exceed every girl's fantasy wedding. That's right, miss honey, WE SAID A WEDDING. Done only OUR way, of course: Fiercely.
Come join the divas as they stomp down aisle — uhm, we mean runway — and work it out in their hottest bridal get-ups. Professional drag artists from the Sacramento area, other campus organizations and dance groups, and of course your DLP divas truly, will light up the stage, in sheer celebration of the recent advancements toward marriage equality.
It's a night of gender-bending fun for all of us, so we encourage your best drag ensembles, and in exchange, we'll crown the Drag King and Queen of the night, based on all your hoots and hollers! It's a night worthy of not a princess ... A DRAG QUEEN, MISS THING! So get ready for THE drag show on campus. Because tonight's about celebrating the freedom to get hitched — to any king or any queen your heart has eyes for."
