The Festival of Whales, one of Dana Point's most famous annual event, is a celebration of the annual migration of the magnificent California Gray Whale. The Festival is held in March, but whale watching excursions begin the end of December, and are offered through the first of April. This year, we've already seen some. What a great way to start 2012. It is Gray Whale season and they are out in full force giving a fantastic show.
With the kids out of school, we are always looking for something to do. This year we made it a point to go out every night and look for the best Christmas lights in South Orange County. The tradition of Christmas Lights dates back to the middle of the 17th century in Germany. Over the next two centuries the magic of Christmas Lights spread through Eastern Europe then to the rest of the world. Candles were originally used, followed by lanterns and then on to electricity. In 1882 Edward Johnson lit a Christmas tree in New York City by creating the first string of electric Christmas Lights. In Just 20 years department stores began using Christmas Lights for their holiday displays.

Well, technically this is not Dana Point real estate related information, but knowing about the events happening in the city that you might want to purchase a home in, is obviously important, so we wanted to share the dates and locations for some of our favorite events happening in Dana Point this 2011 Holiday Season. Best part, most of these events are free or require little money to enjoy!
