Arriving at the Park:
When arriving at Cabrillo National Monument, please approach the entrance station and enter through the far-right employee lane. If a ranger is present, let them know you are an exhibitor or speaker for Whale Watch Weekend, and they will allow you to proceed. If no ranger is present at the entrance station, please proceed through the main entrance.
The event will be taking place near the visitor center. The traffic circle is the best location to unload your vehicle. Volunteers wearing blue shirts will be available to assist with transporting equipment to your table and helping you get set up. Once you are set up, please park in the main parking area.
For participants arriving after the setup time and during regular park hours, please drive through the visitor lane and alert the entrance station that you are here as an exhibitor and/or speaker
