Madaket Plaza is on the waterfront at the foot of C Street, about five minutes away. The county library is at 1313 Third, twelve to fifteen minutes east on foot. Blue Ox Millworks is a mile southeast and is the one worth driving to. Every venue is wheelchair accessible.GETTING HEREEureka is on Highway 101, roughly five hours from the Bay Area and Sacramento, three and a half from Redding, and four from Medford. California Redwood Coast–Humboldt County Airport is twenty minutes north of downtown, with rental cars on site. Music runs late all three nights, so it's a weekend worth staying over for.Free street parking in Old Town with a two-hour limit. The city lots on Third and on E Street are paid and are the better choice for a longer stay.ALSO THAT WEEKENDThe Eureka Theater is running two of its own ticketed shows during the festival: a jazz, funk and gospel evening with Paula Jones on Friday night, and a Dolly Parton documentary singalong benefit on Saturday. Those are separate events with separate tickets, not part of the festival.Full schedule, venue list and lodging: eurekaculturalartsdistrict.org/culturecommonsfestival?utm_source=eventbrite&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ccf2026The Culture Commons Festival is produced by the Eureka Cultural Arts District, one of 24 cultural districts designated by the California Arts Council.
