Cabrillo Whale Watch Festival is an all-ages celebration at Cabrillo National Monument, featuring exhibitors, speakers, hands-on crafts, guided land-based whale watching, and more!
Throughout the day, exhibitors and presenters from across the fields of marine science, conservation, education, and environmental stewardship will share insights into their work, the importance of healthy oceans and coastlines, and ongoing efforts to protect marine life.
Visitors of all ages can enjoy hands-on activities and crafts, while park staff and volunteers will be stationed throughout Cabrillo to help visitors spot migrating gray whales.
Please note: There is an entrance fee associated with entering Cabrillo National Monument, but the event itself is free once you’re inside the park.
Come and check out our booth and see our Executive Director, Phillip Musegaas, and Volunteer and Outreach Manager, Lesly Gallegos, give a presentation at 1:00 PM.
