The Urban Slug Hike is a free, guided walking event scheduled for September 12, 2026, in Eureka, California. Running from 2:30 to 4 p.m., this approximately two-mile tour highlights the "Slugs of Eureka," a public art series of larger-than-life ceramic banana slug sculptures. The journey commences and concludes at the Inn at 2nd & C, located at 124 C St.

This walk is part of a broader initiative by College of the Redwoods, delving into the creation, installation, and community impact of these sculptures, which were crafted by Professor Shannon Sullivan and alumna Jessica Swan for the 2024 Eureka Street Art Festival. The tour is anticipated to last about 90 minutes, incorporating stops for stories, photography, and discussions at key locations such as the Morris Graves Museum of Art and the College of the Redwoods’ downtown campus.
