It’s a whale of a time during this annual homage to the 20,000 Grey Whales migrating past our shores on their way from Baja to Alaska.

Events include something for everyone, from whale sightings to hands-on education about whales and the traditions of the Nuu-chah-nulth people of the West Coast, cultural, culinary, and fun for kids – of all ages.

Experience over seventy-five events - many free of charge - that aim to educate, inspire, and raise the spirits of the young & young-at-heart. Throughout the coastal towns of Ucluelet and Tofino and around Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, it's an all-out Celebration of Coastal Life, highlighting the annual spring migration of upwards of 20,000 grey whales - often traveling within viewing distance of shore. Expect live music, culinary competitions, children's fun-fairs, art and hands-on education. Experience a unique & culturally powerful coastal tradition that conveniently corresponds with BC Spring Break! Here's a few of the features:
