Summer HIGH-Lights
If you are planning to visit us this year be sure to consider visiting during some of the following events.
Kinetic Grand Championship
May 27th-29th
Three days of human-powered art crafts racing on land, sand, and sea go from Arcata to Ferndale. It is held annually on Memorial Day weekend and includes numerous festivities for all to enjoy. It is a great time to visit and be sure to book your stay soon as local accommodations will fill up. The Kinetic Sculpture Race is a great way to see Arcata, Eureka, and Ferndale.
Humboldt Crabs Baseball
June 23rd-August 6th
And don’t forget America’s favorite pastime – Baseball! The Humboldt Crabs Baseball games are so much fun. Founded in 1945, the Humboldt Crabs are the oldest, continuously-operated, collegiate, independent, wood-bat, summer baseball team in the country. 2023 will mark the 79th consecutive year of operations for Crabs baseball. Games start in June and run through August so be sure to check their schedule when you visit. If you love baseball, be sure to catch a Crabs game at the Arcata ballpark and look for the Crab Grass Band or a Special Events night. Check the calendar in the link below.
Arcata Farmers Market
Every Saturday
The Arcata Farmers Markets is one of the best farmers market I have been to and they happen every Saturday on the Arcata Plaza. Its a great way to see the bounty Humboldt has to offer from fresh vegetables to local meats, cheeses, and breads to fresh out of the bay oysters. There is something for everyone.
