Channel Islands Harbor is thrilled to host the 26th Annual Celebration of the Whales Festival, set to take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 13, 2025.

The Celebration of the Whales Festival has become a fun Harbor tradition, with plenty of activities scheduled throughout the day.

This year’s event will feature an interactive community project facilitated by the Oxnard Performing Arts Center Corporation non-profit, 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.
