Pacific Rim Festival
Pacific Rim Whale Festival
The Pacific Rim Festival is an annual Vancouver Island Festival, held in the spring to welcome the whales back to the island. The whale festival features educational events, music, and lots of partying... This Vancouver Island festival is held annually, and there are usually over 75 events! Many of the events are free, so, if you’ll be in the area, plan on attending this gala event!

Join the Whale Festival Fun
Every spring 20,000 whales or more migrate back to the Vancouver Island area. You will be able to see whales all around the island--but the Pacific Rim towns of Ucluelet and Tofino have taken the lead for the spring festival that welcomes back the whales! Tofino and Ucluelet have beautiful beaches, great hiking trails and lush rain forests, so, in addition to the Pacific Rim Whale Festival, you’ll find many different things to do! Here are some of the usual attractions: - Live music
- Whale watching
- Culinary competitions - you won’t be disappointed! (Ever been to a Chowder Chowdown?)
- First Nations cultural workshops
- Interpretive walks
- Inspirational talks
- Fun Fairs for children
- Wickaninnish Inn Gala Dinner & Silent Auction (usually about $100). The auction includes the artwork of over 50 local artists.
This is just a sampling of the many events during this week long Vancouver Island festival. The event is a wonderful maritime tradition that the locals look forward to... Vancouver Island sees spring earlier than much of North America. Why not come and celebrate the migration of the whales, and the coming of spring? Bring your binoculars and make plans to come for the Pacific Rim Whale Festival! For more information, go to the official Festival website.
