Easter is happening early this year and the Peter Cottontail & Friends Easter Celebration is right around the corner. This fun family event will take place on Saturday, March 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Arcata Community Center.

This year we expect more than 350 community residents to enjoy the afternoon with family and friends. And with the fantastic games, food and prizes, this event will be the happiest place to be in Humboldt County!

Over the past eight years, this fun family event has raised more than $108,000 to benefit St. Joseph Hospital’s pediatric services, neonatal intensive care unit and the Childbirth Center.
