2022 North Country Fair
Arcata Plaza
The 48th Annual North Country Fair takes place on Saturday and Sunday, September 17 and 18, from 10 am to 6 pm at the Arcata Plaza. This free and family-friendly festival features 170 art and craft vendors, three music and entertainment stages, local food booths, activities for kids, and a daily parade at 1 pm. Everyone is invited, but please, no pets!
The theme for this year’s fair is “Together Again.” We are united through common interests and objectives during these trying times and are hopeful and excited about the opportunity to gather together again. We stand together as diverse beings, neighbors, and artists to create and support our community. Please be considerate of other attendees. Although the event is outdoors, masks are still recommended for large gatherings.
The North Country Fair has been leading the way in zero waste event efforts, inspiring other events locally and regionally to join the reusable and refillable revolution. Each year we divert more waste from the landfill and we are working on systems to meet new goals! We ask that all attending help us by bringing your own pint cup for beer and a refillable bottle for water and refrain from bringing in waste from off-site. All items are sorted and weighed—so please take those disposable diapers, throwaway coffee cups, and plastic water bottles back home with you. Bring your reusable cups, but not your pups!
The All Species Parade will take place on Saturday, led by the Arcata Playhouse. Dress up in your favorite animal, creature, or species costume and join in on the fun! The Annual Samba Parade lead by Samba da Alegria will take place on Sunday at 1 pm and always promises to be a highlight of the Fair. The weekend will showcase over 20 live local acts including a full schedule of dancers and entertainers.
The North Country Fair is brought to you by The Same Old People, a nonprofit group of community members dedicated to presenting this arts and crafts, and community-centered festival for years to come. For more information visit
