Humboldt Marble Weekend

Come see the work of over 60 talented marble makers.

Thursday, February 13 - Marble Makers Ball at The Glass Garage (215 C St, Eureka), 6-9pm. Music, Marbles and Fun!  Our kick-off event is a veritable “who’s who” of contemporary marble makers, collectors and hunters. This is a great chance to meet visiting artists and welcome them to Humboldt County. We will have live glass blowing demos, music, and more! 

Friday and Saturday, February 14-15 From 10 AM to 5pm, come to Eureka’s Redwood Acres Franceschi Hall (3750 Harris St) where you can meet the marble makers and see the work of glass artists from around the country as well as live glass blowing.  $5 entry fee per person (children 12 and under are free).  

Sunday, February 16  One of the most exciting events of the weekend will be Sunday’s massive 100-marble token and scavenger hunt valued at over $10,000. The Eureka Lodging Alliance is sponsoring the hunt, which starts at noon at the Clarke Plaza (3rd and E). There will be 2 separate ways to participate and possibly win one of these amazing prizes. The first will be a “token hunt”. Random tokens will be hidden around the Old Town area with clues published on the Facebook page “Humboldt Hunts Marbles”. If you can solve the clue and find the token, bring it back to the Clarke Museum to exchange it for a treasured marble. The other fun and exciting challenge will be a photographic scavenger hunt (you will need digital camera or smart phone). Starting at noon, you can pick up a sheet with challenges and riddles that will lead you on a great exploration of our beautiful and historic Old Town. When you have finished the list, bring it back to the Clarke Museum to have your photos checked and possibly win one of the marble prizes.

Come for the marbles, and stay to explore the beaches, old growth redwood forests, and rugged coastlines behind Humboldt County's "Redwood Curtain."
