Events
On Friday evenings in summer the City of Eureka closes the streets to traffic and transforms several city blocks of Old Town into THE place to meet up with friends and neighbors- in a friendly, festive atmosphere. Friday Night Market has it all; a North Coast Growers Association farmers market with the finest in local fruits, vegetables and flowers, a diverse array of local food and merchandise vendors, quality live music mixed with family friendly-activities, and a bar booth featuring the best of Humboldt’s beers, wines, and ciders! It’s a community gathering, AND a party, no question about it, and we like it that way
The Eureka Street Art Festival (ESAF) is a week-long, city-wide event that takes place each summer. The core mission of the festival is to create intentional, accessible art that enlivens public spaces, stimulates community revitalization, and attracts visitors to Eureka. The annual festival invites local and international artists to paint murals and create street art throughout Downtown and Old Town Eureka, creating a unique walkable and bikeable public art experience. The festival offers the opportunity to watch the creation of large-scale pieces of world-class art and allows the public to interact with artists through artist talks, daily tours, and special events. The festival culminates in a large block party to celebrate the completion of the art.
The Folklife Festival spans one week inlcuding Saturday's all-day free festival with two stages, a jam tent, multiple workshops to choose from, along with crafts for your kids.
