Important Message From Humboldt Artisans
Re: COVID-19
Dear Friends of Humboldt Artisans Crafts & Music Festival,
Due to COVID-19, we will not be able to hold the 41st Annual Humboldt Artisans Crafts & Music Festival. We have weighed all the options and decided this is the best decision that doesn’t risk anyone’s health or investment to vend at the event.
If conditions change, we will be open to holding a smaller event at an alternate venue. In the meantime, please consider us a resource to promote your art and sales. We are more than happy to share what you’re up to on our Facebook & Instagram pages. Just send us an email, message on social media, or tag us.
We are going to miss the holiday tradition that is this festival; food, music, arts & crafts, and the people who make this wonderful community event so special.
There is a likelihood that Redwood Acres Fairgrounds may be permanently closed. Please read below for more information and how you can support.
Sincerely,
Brooke & Calista
Redwood Acres Fairgrounds Needs Your Help
The venue, Redwood Acres Fairgrounds is indefinitely a COVID-19 testing facility and an Alternative Care Site. More information and to make an appointment for a test here: https://humboldtgov.org/2788/Eureka
Redwood Acres Fairgrounds and fairgrounds across the state have been immensely impacted by COVID-19 so much that they are in threat of closure. Please see the letter from the CEO of Redwood Acres, Ben Brown, below. Link below is a form letter to send to our government representatives in support of fairgrounds.
“Dear Humboldt County Community,
WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We are calling on our community stakeholders and supporters to contact our state representatives to advocate for funding for us and all California fairgrounds.
The 9th District Agricultural Association Redwood Acres Fairgrounds has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the cancellation of the annual fair and all events for the foreseeable future, Redwood Acres has taken a significant hit to our budget. Without government intervention, we could see the permanent closure of fairgrounds throughout the state. Please help us make sure this doesn’t happen.
Redwood Acres serves the community in many ways. Through community-centered events, as a business incubator, an equestrian center, and as the emergency site for Humboldt County. Currently, the Office of Emergency Services has set-up a COVID-19 testing facility and an Alternative Care Site at our facility free of charge, with the outside hope of receiving FEMA funding sometime in the coming years.
This is where you come in, please reach out to our representatives to advocate on behalf of Redwood Acres and all fairgrounds. Your voice is essential and can help keep Redwood Acres as the community hub that you’ve grown to expect.”
