Festivals

Microbrew tasting and whale watching will be the featured attractions of the 28th Annual Fort Bragg Whale Festival March 20 and 21. On Saturday the area’s top chefs will produce their favorite chowders, along with dozens of microbrews provided by the Fort Bragg Rotary Club. A marine mammal art exhibit and crafts fair are also part of the two-day festival.


With some 20,000 gray whales migrating north from birthing grounds in Mexico to their winter home in Alaska, there will be plenty of whales to view from the Pomo Bluffs Park in Fort Bragg and miles of beaches in MacKerricher State Park just north of the city.
