Cabrillo’s 2026 Whale Watch Festival Draws Over 4,100 Visitors
Cabrillo’s annual Whale Watch Festival is one of the many park experiences made possible by you — our amazing community of members and donors.
On January 11, more than 4,100 visitors gathered at Cabrillo National Monument for the 2026 Whale Watch Festival. With more exhibitors, more crafts, and even more gray whales (a welcome change from zero sightings in 2025), this year’s celebration was truly one for the books. Check out photos from the event here!
