"If Humboldt County has a community epicenter, it’s the Arcata Plaza on Saturday mornings. You’re as likely to see shoppers checking out produce as you are to see locals setting up on the grass and listening to one of the area bands performing. It also features a play space for kids and a central food court. And as it’s only a few miles away from Humboldt Bay (sometimes referred to as the “oyster capital of California”), you can walk around the market with a basket of barbecued bivalves from North Bay Shellfish." - Vox Creative
