Whalefest Monterey

Free whale celebration on Old Fisherman's Wharf

Whalefest Monterey celebrates the whales and ocean life of Monterey Bay with a free weekend of exhibits, talks, and activities for kids on Old Fisherman's Wharf, from 10 AM to 5 PM both days. The wharf is about eight minutes from Sand Dollar Inn, or a flat bike ride along the Coastal Recreation Trail.
