Voted “Best Community Festival” by the readers of Maui Time Weekly, World Whale Day has been one of Maui’s most popular events for 35 years. This all-day celebration honors the humpback whales that come to Maui each winter and raises awareness to protect these majestic animals and their vital ocean habitat. Hosted by the nonprofit Pacific Whale Foundation, World Whale Day is free of charge and open to all.
World Whale Day begins at 9 am with Maui’s Parade of Whales along South Kihei Road, starting at Alanui Keali’i Drive and continuing north to Waimahaihai Street. The Parade includes costumed sea characters and floats of all shapes and sizes created by community organizations, school and activity groups, local businesses and others. Last year’s Grand Marshall was legendary rock icon Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. Parade VIPs also included Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa, Senator Roz Baker and Maui County Councilmembers Gladys Baisa, Don Couch, Don Guzman and Mike Victorino. The Parade announcers are popular DJs from KPOA and prizes are awarded in several categories to participants.
