Eureka gets prettier year by year thanks in large part to the efforts of the artists that take part in the Eureka Street Art Festival each summer. This year the theme is “Beautifying Broadway.” Local and international artists — some from as far away as Canada, Puerto Rico and Taiwan — will paint murals and create street art along South Broadway and the U.S. Highway 101 corridor from July 31 through Aug. 5. In addition to artwork going up, there will be daily art talks at 5:30 p.m. and a Block Party on Saturday, Aug. 5 from noon to 6 p.m. under the Samoa Bridge with live music, a beer garden, food and art, art and more art.
