Put your feet together for Migrations: Walking Together, Playhouse Arts’ ensemble-created, multi-disciplinary, multicultural performance project, which steps out Saturday, Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., starting at the Arcata Playhouse (donation). The procession — including dance, theater, movement, masks, puppets, projections, poetry, narratives and more — leaves the Creamery District and makes its way to Carlson Park in Valley West, stopping along the way at seven locations where HAPI, Centro Del Pueblo, True North, the Yurok Wellness Coalition and others share their work, play and culture. Join in at the beginning or anywhere along the route. Find the procession map and register (please register — attendance is limited due to COVID) at www.arcataplayhouse.org/events/migrations.

Photo courtesy of Sharon King Proponents of pumpkin spice and sweater weather aren’t the only ones who love fall — native plants do, too. And now’s an optimal time to plant. Find the perfect perennial at the California Native Plant Society Sale, Sept. 25-26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Freshwater Farms Reserve. All sorts of native plants from bulbs and grasses to shrubs and trees will be available, grown by volunteers and from other local native plant providers. You can also browse T-shirts, gardening aprons, tote bags, posters and other nifty, giftty things. While you’re there, check out the demonstration garden and pick the brain of one of the experts on site, who are happy to answer your questions. Sign up for your time slot online ahead of time at www. northcoastcnps.org. Due to COVID, 18 attendees are allowed per time slot.

Heads up, folks: Due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in the area, many events are in flux. Please check our online calendar for event changes and contact information before heading out. We’ll do our best to update the rapidly changing info. At press time, these events are still on. Please remember the county mandatory masking ordinance is in place and mask up for yourself and your neighbors.
