Find a Whale of a Deal during Whale Days on Big Bay
January means Big Bay, Bigs Deals!
By Rebecca Milkey
North Embarcadero businesses along the Big Bay® invite you experience Whale Watching during the month of January during Whale Days and invite you to the 2nd annual Whale Festival celebration January 23,2010.
Whale Watching season stretches from late December to early April. San Diego celebrates the migration of thousands of California Gray Whales. Their annual journey takes them from the Bering Sea, past the San Diego coast, to the protected warm waters off Baja California, Mexico. The longest migration route of any mammal, the gray whales travel nearly 13,000 miles roundtrip each year.
The Big Bay Whale Days, organized by the Embarcadero Marketing Group (EMG) and supported by Embarcadero businesses, will feature discounted Whale Watching and other bay cruises in January free admissions for children with adult purchase on USS Midway, discount admissions to Maritime Museum of San Diego, and money-saving coupons to Seaport Village stores and restaurants such as Anthony’s along the Embarcadero (North Harbor Drive). There will also be a Whale Festival to visit between 11 am and 3 pm on Saturday, January 23, 2010 when kids 13 and under cruise free on whale watching cruise and where families can pick up information, coupons, and giveaways from participating exhibitors. They’ll be music, face painting and a giant inflated gray whale from Birch Aquarium to walk through while visiting exhibitors.
“Businesses along the Embarcadero are encouraging families to discover the thrill of whale & dolphin watching and the magic of the Embarcadero,” said Rebecca Milkey, Hornblower Cruises & Events, and spokesperson for EMG. “We have put together a festive annual event around one of San Diego’s most treasured seasons and named it Big Bay Whale Days. Businesses will be offering great values to dine, play, stay and cruise on the bay. We invite everyone to be a part of this new annual celebration.”
