Arcata Fairy Festival

The Arcata Fairy Festival is a free, nonprofit community event held on the Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County, California, organized in partnership with Playhouse Arts, Arcata's local arts agency. Framed around whimsy, creativity and community stewardship, it draws local families and visitors from outside the area, and has previously partnered with nonprofits including CASA of Humboldt and Redwood Raks Collective. Visitors find vendor booths, food stalls, and a beverage service from Playhouse Arts offering beer, wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic "fairy elixirs," with additional dining available in downtown Arcata.
