San Francisco Fleet Week: October 4-12

by · Published · Updated

Get ready for a thrilling week of naval activities and celebrations!

Fleet Week returns to the northern waterfront this October, free and open to the public. The week includes ship tours, the Parade of Ships, Fleet Fest, and K9 showcases, with the Blue Angels airshow running October 4 through 12.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Expect significant traffic, street closures, and parking congestion near the waterfront, Marina, and Embarcadero throughout the week. Public transit is the easier option.
  • The Blue Angels are loud. Practice flights and the airshow can be startling for pets, small children, and anyone sensitive to noise. If you have a nervous pet, plan to keep them indoors with windows closed during flight hours.
  • Guest parking may be tighter than usual that week. Please remind visitors to follow posted parking rules.

Full schedules and event details are posted on the Fleet Week website.
