Humboldt Summer Music Series
Celebrate summer with the sounds of Humboldt! The Humboldt Summer Music Series returns to the beautiful Humboldt Botanical Garden, just south of Eureka, offering Sunday afternoons filled with music, nature, and community spirit.
This beloved summer tradition features live music in Humboldt County in one of the region’s most scenic outdoor venues. Surrounded by vibrant gardens and sweeping views of the Eel River Valley, guests can relax on the lawn and enjoy a wide variety of musical styles—from Latin and soul to jazz, pop, funk, rock, reggae, and more. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back afternoon or a chance to dance barefoot in the grass, this concert series has something for every music lover.
