2022 Artist of the Year - Ultra Payne

Eureka, California has long been considered a paradise for art aficionados and artists alike. With a state-wide designation as a California Cultural Arts District, Eurekans are passionate about supporting their rich local arts community. Even beyond fine art galleries and larger-than-life street art murals (we have those too!), Eureka is home to a vibrant performing arts scene. From theater and dance to comedy and symphony, there is something for everyone. Last night, Eureka City Mayor, Kim Bergel, reconfirmed the important role the arts play locally when she carried on the tradition of presenting the Mayor's Artist of the Year award. Congratulations to Ultra Payne, a local drag queen recognized for her work spreading joy and acceptance while advocating for diversity and freedom of expression.

When visiting Eureka, be sure to make a tasty pit stop at Fresh Freeze, the iconic 50's themed diner located in Henderson Center. Recognized as 2022 Best Business of the Year by Eureka Mayor, Kim Bergel, Fresh Freeze was established in 1950 and has served old-fashioned burgers, french fries and ice cream here for more than 80 years - all while keeping its original look and feel. The red and white building, 50's music, indoor and outdoor dining, and friendly and fun service make each visit a memorable experience the whole family will enjoy!

Planning a spring break getaway? Visiting Eureka is a great way to refresh, refocus, and readjust - truly a break from the long days of studying, working, or both. The Best Western Humboldt Bay Inn is among the city's finest for accommodations and central location. Our guides for this tour of their suite are former BWHB guests Princeton and Skyler. #visithumboldtcounty #visiteurekaca #EurekaCA #visitredwoods #visiteureka #bestwesternhumboldtbayinn #springbreak2023 #springbreak2023 #springbreak2023ideas #eurekacalifornia #eurekacalifornia

Artist Duane Flatmos’ El Pulpo Magnifico entertained the crowd while a line formed next door as Arts Alive! attendees waited their turn to check out the new Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate factory and shop.
