LAHAINA, Hawaii - TelAve -- Did you know that on Maui, the whole month of February is dedicated to celebrating whales?

The Maui Whale Festival is an annual celebration held in Maui, dedicated to honoring the majestic humpback whales that migrate to the island's warm waters each winter. Established in 1980 by the Pacific Whale Foundation, the festival aims to show the public why it's important to protect these gentle giants.

Historical Background

The festival originated as "Save the Whales Day," a grassroots initiative by Maui residents protesting the commercial whaling industry. This movement evolved into World Whale Day (https://agwaycapecod.com/the-history-of-world-w...), officially established on February 18th, coinciding with the peak of the humpback whale season in Hawaii. Over the years, the event expanded into the Maui Whale Festival, which includes several activities throughout February.
