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.
