The event will take place at MMCC and will include food trucks, live music, performances, fun activities, prize drawings, and of course viewings of the seals and sea lions who are on their path to recovery and release.

“We are thrilled to be able to celebrate with the community at Seal Day this year,” Amber Becerra, President of MMCC, said in a statement. “Last year due to the pandemic, we were not able to have this event. We feel grateful to be able to come together with our community who have been our biggest supporters, and celebrate the important work we do, which wouldn’t be possible without their support.”
