Eureka Main Street is excited to announce the inaugural Bounty by the Bay Festival, a two day event on May 18-19, 2018. Bounty by the Bay is designed to showcase all that we have to offer here on Humboldt Bay.

Bounty by the Bay is a replacement event for the Eureka Crab Celebration. Due to the unstable crab harvest and unpredictable weather in January the decision was made to move the festivities to May and open up the focus to include all the natural and cultural resources that Humboldt has to offer.

Bounty by the Bay kicks off with a Pirate Pub Craw on Friday, May 18^th from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m., throughout Old Town and Downtown bars and restaurants, featuring tasty dishes and cocktails. This is a pay as you go, experience. No tickets are sold for this event. In addition, the Eureka Visitor Center will also be hosting its first Friday Night Market on E Street between 2^nd and 3^rd Streets. The Friday Night Market will include: a small farmers market, arts and crafts vendors and live music.

Saturday, May 19^th starts off at 10a.m. at F Street Plaza with the Pirate Run (5k) along the new Humboldt Bay Trail. Run (or walk) along Eureka’s waterfront. The race starts and finishes at the F Street Plaza (Foot of F Street). FEE:  $10. Race Day Registration - F Street Plaza; 8-10 a.m. Pick up numbers/eye patches at the event.
