Calendar May 5 – 12, 2022

Courtesy of PAH Humboldt The Eureka Chinatown Project is an all-volunteer organization working to honor the history of the first Chinese people in Humboldt County. The group has been working to raise awareness about the discrimination and expulsion Chinese Eurekans faced, highlighting their contributions and giving voice to their stories. Part of that is recognizing Eureka’s historic Chinatown, which once stood between E, F, Fourth and Fifth streets before the 1885 Chinese Expulsion. Now, the Eureka Chinatown Project Year of the Tiger Celebration and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will unveil the markers for the Eureka Chinatown area with a dedication Saturday, May 7, starting at 3 p.m. at the Coast Central Credit Union parking lot at Fourth and F streets. There, traditional lion dancers will bless the site, returning after 137 years. From 4 to 5 p.m. the lion dancers will parade around Old Town and perform blessings at various businesses, and then roll over into the Year of the Tiger Street Festival in Clarke Plaza from 6 to 9 p.m., which coincides with Arts Alive! The festival will feature more from lion dancers, plus Lao dancers, taiko drums, cultural performances, food trucks, vendors, artists, kids crafts and more. Earlier in the day, author and University of Delaware professor Jean Pfaezler will present a history talk: Driven Out: The Forgotten War Against Chinese Americans from noon to 1 p.m. at the Clarke Museum (free), where she will discuss the Chinese Expulsion in Humboldt County during the late 1800s. RSVP for the lecture at clarkemuseum.org.

The bright, sweet sounds of steel drums are infectious — spreading joy and dance-ablity no matter where they are heard. Get set to sail away to the Caribbean with a full day of steel drum music at the Humboldt Steel Pan Festival on Sunday, May 8, from noon to 7 p.m. in the Creamery District (free). Let the Humboldt Calypso Band, Del Norte High School, Blue Dragon Steel Band, Arcata High School and Pan Dulce drummers transport you to a tropical island for the day. After the last two years, we’re all ready for a vacation — including the drummers who will be giving it their all. Kick off your Sunday shoes and cut footloose.
