Take a walk back in time at HSU's big Centennial kick-off party on Saturday, August 24 from 4-7pm on the Arcata Plaza. Bring the family and be a part of the start of a yearlong celebration. The Humboldt State 100th Birthday Festival features a range of entertainment for the whole family. Enjoy free birthday cookies from Ramone’s bakery, explore old time artisan demos, snap a photo in the photo booth, revel at the antics of Leapin’ Louie and Shea Freelove, and dance to all-day music with the Humboldt Folklife Society, while the Arcata Fire Department gives fire truck rides to kids. This event is free and open to the community. See you there!
