Virtual Friday Night Market - Calling all Makers and Artists
Humboldt Made and the Eureka Visitor Center are set to launch the third season of the Eureka Friday Night market, this time virtually! Eurekafridaynightmarket.com will be a one-stop-shop for local products/services online and art! Are you a Humboldt based maker or artist? You're invited to submit your work!
The Virtual Eureka Friday Night Market will feature a wide range of local products from wine chocolate and cheeses to produce CSA boxes, flower bouquets, and oysters. Stocking these virtual shelves will also be artisan jewelry, local apparel, curated boxes and much more.
In addition, Eurekafridaynightmarket.com will host a go-to guide for local take out, listing menus and contact info of locally-owned restaurants to encourage shoppers to pick up take out after they pick up their package of local goodies from the Eureka Visitor Center. To top it off, we are working with local artists to host a high-end art gallery featuring art from around the county.
This site is a celebration of all things Eureka and Humboldt, providing a one-stop shop for the community to support small businesses when they need it the most.
