In celebration of the annual return of Catalina Island's famous flying fish, Catalina celebrates with the Flying Fish Festival, the weekend after Memorial Day, a four day festival of family fun. From May to September every year, Catalina Island welcomes the famed flying fish. This spectacular fish soars out of the water at heights of up to 30 feet and glides for distances as long as 1/4 mile. The flying fish visits the Island for only a few months a year and best shows itself at night when lured with lights. It is only fitting that Catalina celebrates their arrival by honoring them as special guests with a four day long weekend of festivities.
