Family events in Eureka, CA

Presented by Eureka Community Services and the Humboldt County Library, this free outdoor story time brings early literacy to Sequoia Park. Preschoolers will enjoy a lively mix of talking, singing, reading, early writing activities, and playful movement in the fresh air. The program is designed for children ages 2 to 6 with a caregiver, and other family members are welcome to participate. Seating takes place on the grass, so consider bringing a folding chair or picnic blanket. A limited number of blankets will be available to borrow.

Two NAMI family support groups are available, with options to participate in person or on Zoom. One meets in Eureka at Humboldt Plaza, the building that shares a parking lot with the new DMV office. Enter on the left side and look for the sidewalk sandwich board that reads NAMI Humboldt family support. The other meets in Redway at the Redway Family Resource Center, located with Redway School just across the field. These gatherings are free and confidential, and community members are welcome. For questions, text Lea at 707-845-3233.

A relaxed LEGO lounge transforms the classroom into a hands-on building space. Spend some creative time side by side with your kiddo before Friday Night Drop Off. Free for members and included with admission.
