Pageantry, music, arts and crafts, and a big top circus tent will grace Arcata’s Creamery District for a fresh, fun, family-friendly three-day festival.. The Creamery Arts Festival returns with fun for the whole family.

The festival’s opening night on Friday, August 21, will include an hour- long performance from Mendocino’s Flynn Creek Circus that will culminate in an outdoor pageant featuring a community procession, stilt walkers, giant puppets, paper lantern sculptures, and a giant shadow play ending in a dance party with local favorites the Latin Peppers next door Holly Yashi’s new creative village. With festivities beginning at 11 a.m., Saturday, August 22 will feature live local music with the Humboldt Music Academy Fiddlers, the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir, Firesign, Bandemonium and the Jim Lahman Band, food vendors, arts and crafts booths, a children’s area by Scrap Humboldt, and artists and performers throughout the district.
