Eureka, 275 miles north of San Francisco along the Pacific Coast on Highway 101, is set amid towering ancient redwood forests, a rocky coastline, and six wild and scenic rivers. Abundant recreational activities are available including white-water rafting, kayaking on Humboldt Bay, exploring beaches, bird watching, and biking or hiking the numerous parkland trails. Eureka's Old Town waterfront district, adjacent to the festivals six venues, features Victorian architecture, unique shops, art galleries, restaurants, bed and breakfasts and other fine lodging.
