UPDATE: Sadly, but very understandably in light of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Channel Islands Harbor has canceled Celebration of the Whales which was to have been held on March 22nd. Thank you for understanding!
More than 20 chalk artists will share their artwork at the 23rd Annual Celebration of the Whales Festival at the Channel Islands Harbor. From 11 – 3 p.m. on March 22, this year’s event will feature free, family-friendly activities held at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, Marine Emporium Landing, Channel Islands Harbor Farmers Market, and a “Gray Whale Migration Trail” along the marina path that connects the activity centers. In addition to the chalk art, there will be shopping and prize drawings that include whale watching excursions for the entire family.
The Celebration of Whales Festival is a collaborate event among the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, Harbor lessees, businesses, and the Ventura County Harbor Department that celebrates the migration of the Pacific Gray Whale.
