San Francisco Fleet Week, established in 1981 under the leadership of then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein, has evolved into a cherished annual tradition. Fleet Week celebrates America's maritime services and is a tribute to the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces. The San Francisco event has earned national recognition from the US Department of Defense as a model for fleet weeks across the nation, as it fosters collaboration between civilian and military forces, enhances disaster response capabilities and generates over $10 million in annual revenue for the City.
Held every October, the week-long event includes The Parade of Ships through the Golden Gate, showcasing fleet vessels from the maritime sea services; as well as a captivating air show featuring the renowned US Navy Blue Angels exhibition team, the world’s second-oldest aerobatic unit and an international symbol of American naval aviation excellence.
The United Services Organization (USO) invites all military personnel and their families passing through SFO to visit the USO Center, a "home away from home" to relax, access complimentary amenities, and make their journey more comfortable. Visit flysfo.com/uso to learn more.
