Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center will host a community Holiday Party this holiday season, bringing caroling, a tree lighting, a silent auction and seasonal treats to the park's gathering space. The celebration aims to provide a welcoming moment for residents and visitors to mark the season together at one of the county's most iconic outdoor destinations.
Community gatherings like this one matter in Humboldt County where social connection supports mental health, strengthens neighborhood ties and sustains local traditions. A public Holiday Party at the Visitor Center provides an accessible setting for multigenerational participation, and the addition of a silent auction offers a communal way to contribute to local causes or park programs. For many attendees, small public events are also a pathway to volunteerism and stewardship of public lands.
Public health considerations are central this time of year when respiratory viruses are more common and large indoor or crowded outdoor events can increase transmission risk. Attendees should monitor their own health, stay home if they are feeling ill, and consider vaccinations appropriate for influenza and other circulating illnesses. Event organizers and visitors should prioritize hand hygiene, clear signage about health expectations and accommodations for those who need physical distancing or other protections.
Access and equity are also important. Humboldt Redwoods State Park attracts people from across the region, and practical barriers such as transportation, parking and mobility access can limit participation. Community organizations and park staff can improve inclusion by offering clear information about site accessibility, timing and any costs, and by providing assistance for people with limited mobility or transportation options.
Those planning to attend should confirm exact time and any event requirements with the Visitor Center before traveling. By combining celebration with attention to public health and accessibility, the Holiday Party can be a safe and meaningful seasonal gathering for Humboldt County residents and visitors alike.
