Big Bay Whale Days Set For Month of January

2nd Annual Whale Festival on Jan. 23rd

By Rebecca Milkey

Whale Days takes place on San Diego’s beautiful Big Bay along a famous mile of waterfront called the Embarcadero. Each year between late December and early April Gray Whales migrate along the San Diego coast. Throughout January 2010, waterfront businesses are uniting for the 2nd consecutive year to support whale watching by offering a month of money saving deals to attract whale & dolphin fans.
The Embarcadero merchants have joined forces to offer “January Whale Days on the Embarcadero “ and will be offering a day-long Whale Festival at the Foot of Broadway & Harbor Drive on January 23rd, 2010, from 9 am – 5 pm. Sidewalks will be set up with vendors and exhibitors, featuring music, face painting and family fun, along with deals on Whale Watching.
Whale of a Deal Days offers include “Kids cruise free” all through January on Whale Watching Cruises offered by the companies listed below, located in the heart of the Embarcadero at the corner of West Broadway and N. Harbor Drive. Wonderful seafood restaurants on the Embarcadero including Anthony's Fish Grotto and Fish Market, and restaurants in nearby Seaport Village, will be offering specials for families to dine for lunch or dinner during January Whale Days. The USS Midway and Maritime Museum of San Diego will offer reduced admissions.
Big Bay Whale Days is sponsored in part by the Port of San Diego. Unbelievably low " Whale of a Deal" offers will be available on http://www.thebigbay.com
Whale Watching season begins in San Diego in mid-December and lasts through early April.
Whale watching cruises are available thru:
