Welcome to Arcata

Thank you for visiting our beautiful community! This guide was created by the Arcata Chamber of Commerce to provide you with the information and inspiration necessary to plan your trip to Arcata, California.

To start our welcome, the Arcata Chamber of Commerce would like to begin by acknowledging that we are located on the unceded ancestral

territory and present homeland of the Wiyot

peoples, which includes the Wiyot Tribe, Bear River Rancheria, and Blue Lake Rancheria. We make this land acknowledgment in recognition that our words must be matched by action and approach. Therefore, we encourage direct giving to Tribes and Native-led efforts in Humboldt County including Hoopa, Karuk, Mattole, Tolowa, Wailaki, Wiyot, and Yurok, and we encourage those in Wiyot territory to make a contribution to the Wiyot Tribe Honor Tax at honortax.org.

Please join us in acknowledging this fact as you visit and enjoy the city of Arcata and its

surrounding areas.

Once you start exploring, you’ll discover Arcata has something for everyone! While visiting, we invite you to enjoy and explore our community that is filled with local shops, restaurants, outdoor experiences, and more. Enjoy epic kayaking, hiking, forest walks, locally grown restaurant menus, and take a deep dive into a historic community, or tour Arcata’s weekly arts and cultural events. To explore our city, find things to do, and learn about our unique community go to VisitArcata.com.

We hope you have a memorable, safe, and fun time in Arcata, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
