Dana Point
Festival of Whales

DANA POINT - The Dana Point Festival of Whales is older than the City of Dana Point, and in some quarters, more highly esteemed. The event started off with the Festival of Whales Community Parade on February 20th, which ends where the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce Street Faire '99 begins, on February 20th and 21st. However, the festivities carry on until March 7th.

The Festival of Whales is Dana Point's way of celebrating the migration of the California gray whale, that includes three weekends of crowd-drawing, community inspired events. Highlights include the Parade, the Street Faire, tidepool tours at the Orange County Marine Institute, a pet parade (the 6th Annual ARF Wag-a-thon), and live entertainment. For more information call the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce at (800) 290-DANA, or (949) 496-1555.
