North Country Fair
Celebrate the changing of the seasons and our community spirit at the 45th Annual North Country Fair!
Saturday and Sunday, September 15 & 16th, on the Arcata Plaza. 10am to 6pm both days!
The 2018 North Country Fair has been declared a Celebration of Resilience, a nod to the current political environment and our unified strength to carry on. From its inception, the North Country Fair has been a showcase and haven for creativity, alternative solutions, and the resilient people who use those tools for progress. In these troubled times, The Same Old People wish to reflect on the capacity of communities everywhere to build resistance and remain strong in defense of our collective futures and to provide a deep and lasting cultural change.
Enjoy a variety of handmade arts, crafts and food options while listening to music from local entertainers. Meet local community groups, environmental organizations and other non-profits. Get involved in local and global actions or in one of the parades.
This event is FREE! Please leave your four-legged friends at home.
