10th Annual Right Whale Festival

ALL HANDS ON DECK!  Scientists estimate fewer than 450 North Atlantic right whales remain, but with the tragic death of 17 right whales over the past year and no calves born last season, it is more important than ever to protect the remaining whales! 

Each fall, the Right Whale Festival celebrates the North Atlantic right whales and their annual return to the waters off Florida and Georgia, which is the only known right whale calving area. The Right Whale Festival brings together non-profit organizations, artists, musicians, marine mammal scientists, as well as state and federal agencies with the common goal to raise awareness for this endangered species and promote ways to protect them from extinction. 

Attendees enjoy live music, food, kid’s activities, arts & crafts, a beach clean-up, 5K run/ 2.5 K walk and educational exhibits and lectures. Exhibits highlight all areas of right whale conservation; including research, volunteer opportunities, and recovery efforts. Educational activities at the festival encourage attendees of all ages to learn more about right whales and how they can help protect them.
