This curious little town is home to many hippies, including many students from Cal Poly Humboldt, California's polytechnic university. The central square, Arcata Plaza, serves as headquarters for locals and artists alike. Here you'll find all the cafés, bars and restaurants, as well as Jacoby's Storehouse, a historic monument that has survived the regular fires of religion. The event not to be missed is the Kinetic Grand Championship - www.kineticgrandchampionship.com - on the last weekend in May. Here, impressive "sculptures" on wheels gather in the square for a memorable race to Ferndale.
