- **Event Name**: 2026 Gulf Coast Whale Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Gulf Coast Whale Festival brings environmental education, art and fun to Pensacola Beach on Saturday March 7. Educational exhibits and activities tell the story of Gulf whales and local marine life, and a puppet parade led by Birds of a Feather showcases the ecology of the Gulf. Sweet sounds will flow from the Casino Beach Pavilion with live music by Pensacola singer-songwriters, and the performance of Ode to the Rice’s Whale, written by Pensacola performer Bob Teague.

The Whale Festival comes at an exciting time for whale lovers on the Gulf coast, as the Rice’s whale was identified as a new species of whale just five years ago.  

Space for vendors interested in sharing environmental and marine life education is available for free, but space is limited.
