Microbrew tasting and whale watching will be the featured attractions of the 25th Annual Fort Bragg Whale Festival.

Along with dozens of microbrews provided by the Fort Bragg Rotary Club, the area’s top chefs will produce their favorite chowders.

With some 20,000 gray whales migrating north from birthing grounds in Mexico to their winter home in Alaska, there will be plenty of whales to view from the Pomo Bluffs Park in Fort Bragg and miles of beaches in MacKerricher State Park just north of the city.

Some key events during Whale Festival:

• Microbrew Beer Tasting and Barbecue at Eagles Hall, Saturday only from 12-5 pm, $30

• Whales on Parade: More than 40 wooden whales, decorated by local artists, will be displayed in coastal businesses February 10 – March 11 and will be sold in a month-long silent auction with final bidding on Sunday, March 18, from 10am-3pm at Town Hall at Main and Laurel Streets.

• Arts and Crafts Fair in downtown, on Saturday from 10-5pm & Sunday from 9-3pm, free admission, at the Fort Bragg Masonic Hall, 428 N. Main St., Fort Bragg.
