Mendocino

March 2 – 3

Back by popular demand, the Mendocino Whale Fest is where you want to be the first weekend in March. Check out the Wine Walk throughout the village – whether by foot or by MTA Trolley! Stroll the Mendocino Headlands and make sure you stop by the Gray Whale Migration Station – otherwise known as Ford House Museum.

Little River

March 9 

MendoParks offers guided walkabouts around Spring Ranch, where unobstructed views of prime whale watching can be had…and seen even better through binoculars provided prior to the tour. Then head to Little River Inn for the annual Battle of the Bloody Marys – it’s a tough gig, but someone’s got to do it!

Fort Bragg

March 15 – 17

The 36th annual Whale Run is happening once again. This race includes a 10K, 5K, 5K Fun Walk and a Kiddie Run – all along the coastal trail in Fort Bragg. Afterward, take a jaunt through downtown Fort Bragg for the Wine Walk and craft fair…or head to historic Eagles Hall for the Rotary Beer Fest. The Noyo Center and MendoParks have interactive activities and walks – it’s a whale of a good time for the whole family!
