Tough break, kids. In light of spiking local COVID-19 case numbers, the unprecedented spread of disease Humboldt County is currently seeing and Public Health's recent recommendation against large gatherings, the North Coast Journal has decided to postpone its Best of Humboldt party scheduled for Friday, Aug. 6. We will not risk hosting an event that could compromise the health of the community we love and the wellbeing of the healthcare workers we all depend on. We look forward to rescheduling the event in the future, as soon as it is safe for us all to gather and celebrate the Best Of Humboldt.
The old theater adage is that the show must go on. But this time it may have to go on a bit later. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and California Department of Public Health recommendations on social distancing to slow and reduce the spread of the virus, events are canceling left and right.

The Eureka Theater, Morris Graves Museum of Art, Humboldt State University Center Activities, Humboldt Brews and Arts! Arcata have all canceled events through the end of March.
The Journal will be updating its online event calendar as information comes in. If you're an event organizer, email [email protected] to let us know about any changes in plans.
