Dana Point Festival of Whales - 40th Anniversary

March 5-6 & 12-13

March 4, 2011

Celebrate the migration of the Gray Whale at the Dana Point Festival of Whales, this weekend (March 5 & 6) and next (March 12 & 13).  The Dana Pont Festival of Whales is one of Southern California's largest seafaring celebrations and reaches out to whale admirers around the world. This year, I am determined to attend! 

Festival highlights include an opening day parade, Whale of a Block Party, art exhibits, classic car exhibits, paddling events, sand sculpting, concerts on land and water, environmental activities, educational opportunities, interpretive crafts, kids activities, and of course, whale watching excursions on a variety of vessels or whale watching from breathtaking Dana Point Headlands Conservation Park.  The 2011 Festival offers visitors transporation via complimentary shuttle service provided throughout the Festival venues!
