A month-long festival of fun and thought provoking events, celebrating the annual migration of whales to the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The 2023 Winter WhaleFest takes over Victor Harbor for four weeks in celebration of our beautiful whales. This festival features over 25 activities across the four week period, which aim to inform, educate, entertain and engage the audience.
The festival will run from 26 May – 25 June 2023
In December 2022, the new Victor Harbor Visitor Centre opened incorporating the South Australian Centre, into the one building. Based in the historic Railway Goods Shed in Victor Harbor, the centre has become the highly anticipated and awe inspiring home of the Visitor Centre. The Whale Centre may be a little different to what you remember before, now located downstairs at the Visitor Centre.
The team at the Victor Harbor Visitor Centre and South Australian Whale Centre would like to invite you to enjoy the building when you visit.
