Dana Point Annual Festival of Whales with Sharks!

Join us marching with the sharks in Dana Point, sharing the shark love, spreading the word.

Volunteer, wear a costume and help us save sharks and have fun.

If more FUN is part of 2024 agenda, mark your calendar for the 53rd Annual Festival of Whales March 1-3. We kick off Friday night with the Welcoming of the Whales and close out with a BBQ benefitting military families and dancing in the sand at the Concert On The Water. In between, celebrate the gray whale migration with a parade, street fair, live music at several locations, art shows, classic cars, hands-on education, hilarious cardboard box boat races held together with duct tape, treasure hunting, life size whale painting, special whale watching trips, informative lectures, art classes with @wyland for your littles and so much more.
