Visitors who attend the 24th Annual Celebration of the Whales Festival at the Channel Islands Harbor are going to be in for a variety of surprises.

This year’s event will feature two new activities – a concert in the park and a community “paint a whale” mural project. In addition, there will be family-friendly activities, sidewalk chalk art, shopping, a children’s fun zone, and more.

Activities will be held at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, the Channel Islands Harbor Farmers Market, and a “Gray Whale Migration Trail” that runs through Harbor View Park that connects the two activity centers.

At the Maritime Museum, there will be contests, family activities, and arts & crafts. More than a dozen organizations will have booths set up so attendees can learn about marine-themed topics including wood carving, knot tying, recreational fishing, marine life, and more.

The Channel Islands Farmers Market will feature an arts & crafts market, children’s activities, whale facts, and educational booths.
