The Hervey Bay Whale Festival is an iconic annual event celebrating Hervey Bay's unique "Up Close and Personal" whale watching season. The festival is a dynamic celebration of our coastal community and the unbreakable link between humans and our natural environment.
The 2010 festival will host a conservation celebration showcasing how the Fraser Coast community unite to celebrate and protect a species. Whilst around the world, the global whale wars are being fought, it's unique seeing this fantasitc community come together through this event to celebrate the humpback whale with the objective to conserve these majestic creatures for future generations.
Through this event,we hope to bring humpback whales into the hearts of visitors from around the world and engage the individual to make a difference to whale conservation.

Families and the young at heart can enjoy a day program featuring an eco-expo, kids recycle factory, live entertainment, rides and market stalls.
Bring along your folding chair and enjoy the spectacle of the Illuminated Street Parade later in the afternoon, featuring dazzling floats created by community organisations set to bring the Hervey Bay foreshore to life.
The evening concludes with a Live Whale Aid concert featuring a line- up of talented Australian musicians with a strong focus on raising funds for whale conservation. An exciting fireworks display will complete the celebrations.
