National World Whale Day 2024

Reason to celebrate: February 15, 2024 is National World Whale Day.

Titans from the sea are celebrated on World Whale Day, which aims to boost understanding of these magnificent animals. The annual holiday began in Maui, Hawaii, in 1980, to honor humpback whales, which go swimming off its coast. It’s the primary showcase from the Maui Whale Festival.Each year, crowds flock towards the island to participate in the disposable all-day event, organised through the Off-shore Whale Foundation. The enjoyment begins having a parade including floats, costumed figures and children’s occasions, plus music from Hawaiian and worldwide stars.However, it's not necessary to go to Maui to mark valentine's day. Whales need support from wildlife enthusiasts everywhere to satisfy conservation risks for example lack of habitat and pollution, so an ideal method to celebrate your day could be to get familiar with a fundraiser event wherever you reside. You’ll possess a whale of the some time and aid an excellent cause!
