This week, Arcata will attempt to capture some portion of the magic Eureka has been able to perform over the last few years when it stages its own Friday Night Market. Now, should you attend, it will be natural for you to want to compare the Arcata Version to the Eureka Version. But let us caution you: That is a silly thing to do. These will be entirely different events and should be judged on their own merits. 

However, because comparing Arcata and Eureka is a favorite pastime here in Humboldt, we thought we’d give you 17 other opportunities to do so below. Finally, we will have an official tally on which of our county’s two most significant population centers is the coolest, friendliest, smelliest, etc. 

You have until Monday to get through all categories. Thank you in advance for playing. 

ARCATA vs. EUREKA
