Updated November 9, 2026. Dates come from the organizers and are checked against their official pages. Always confirm with the organizer before you travel.

What used to be called the Maui Whale Festival is now Pacific Whale Foundation’s World Whale Day week, held at the height of humpback season. In 2026 (the foundation’s 45th anniversary) it ran February 9 to 15 with an opening ceremony at Makena, a whale film festival at Iao Theater, a free community day at Maalaea Harbor Shops on February 14, and the World Whale Day Parade on South Kihei Road, from Kamaole I to Kalama Park, on February 15.

Why yacht rock fans go

Humpbacks breaching off Kihei in February, live island music and a hometown parade. It’s a different kind of beach festival.

Plan your visit

  • Pair the parade with a morning whale watch from Maalaea or Lahaina harbor.
  • Ticketed events like the soirée sold out in 2026, so buy early.
