Saturday is the weekly Arcata Farmer’s Market which is part market and part street festival.
Humboldt County has issued a mandatory mask order for indoor gatherings and for large ones outside. Almost everyone was following it (except us in the beginning because we didn’t know about it at first, but we got it eventually).
We saw some beautiful produce - this humongous rainbow chard caught my fancy
And these blow your mind mushrooms
Later in the day, Jo had a social event so we were on our own. We followed her recommendation to visit the Septentrio Wine Bar that has a beautiful outdoor area served by a food truck called Nosh.
Lovely spot to relax in the evening and sample the local wine.
