If you haven’t checked out Fort Humboldt State Park, do yourself a favor and do it. There’s no better way than to take the Guided Tour of Fort Humboldt State Historic Park, o ered this Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24, starting at 1 p.m. (free). Join an interpreter on the hour-long ADA-accessible walking tour and learn about the outpost’s history, Euro-American colonists and Indigenous people. It’s a fascinating look into the 19th century military outpost in Eureka, overlooking Broadway and the bay, with original buildings and equipment still standing today. Rain cancels. Check the North Coast Redwoods Facebook page for updates. It seems like the dust’s barely settled from the rodeo and Fortuna’s already gearing up for the city’s next big thing. For those who’ve taken a shine to classic and vintage cars, the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo is nothing short of Heaven. For three days — July 22-24 — the city of Fortuna will be crammed with car afi cionados and hundreds of four-wheel and two-wheel beauts lining the streets, hoods up, chrome polished and selfi e-ready. In addition to a huge car show, attendees will enjoy a Friday night cruise, deep-pit barbecue, artisans faire, show & shine, car-themed movie night and plenty more. Get detailed info at www.redwoodautoXpo.com. When the sun dips down behind the buildings outside the Arcata Ball Park during Humboldt Crabs Games, things can get downright chilly. Add fl y balls raining down like oversized (albeit much heavier) snowfl akes and a jubilant crowd sipping adult beverages and, no matter the month, it’s a bit like Christmas, isn’t it? Grab your ugliest Christmas sweater and Santa cap and join the party during Christmas in July Night, Saturday, July 23, at 6:30 p.m. ($10, $4 child 3-12). On Sunday, July 24, wear your swirliest and rainbowiest to the park for Humboldt Crabs Tie-dye Sunday with fi rst pitch at 12:30 p.m. ($10, $4 child 3-12). Are you at a Day on the Green concert or a ballgame, man? Both. The World Famous Crab Grass Band will be honking out some of its hits at this one. Should be a groovy, sunny afternoon, Crabs fans. Bring sunscreen.
