Pioneer Days\u00a0was the historical name of an annual community event in the city of Chico, celebrated the week before Pioneer Days, the first Saturday in May. Community groups like Sigma Nu adopted themes and applied them to the festivities. In 1987 Chico State President Wilson announced an end to the 70-year-old tradition. Currently, the\u00a0parade is the only event that remains of Pioneer Days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
