The San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show is held annually between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, The San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show Presented by United attracts fans from all over the globe.

San Francisco Fleet Week is California’s largest annual civic event—a city-wide celebration that honors the sea services and the men and women who serve in uniform. Since 1981, San Francisco Fleet Week has united military and civilian communities through an unforgettable series of public events, including ship tours, community concerts, public safety and military response exhibits, STEM education activations, and our world-famous San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show presented by United, held over San Francisco Bay.
Traditionally, San Francisco Fleet Week is anchored by two signature events: the San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show presented by United, and Fleet Fest at Pier 30/32. The San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show presented by United—held at Marina Green Park and headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels—is the only air show in the United States to feature a fully choreographed commercial airline performance: the United Airlines Boeing 777. Fleet Fest, located on Piers 30/32 directly in front of the largest visiting U.S. Navy ship, is one of the week’s most vibrant public destinations. It features live music, local food vendors, and a variety of entertainment for all ages. The event also offers public ship tours and interactive exhibits focused on military readiness, STEM education, and community-based emergency response. Exhibitors include first responder agencies and non-governmental organizations that showcase new technologies, offer recruitment opportunities, and demonstrate local preparedness and disaster response capabilities.
Together, these two hallmark experiences form the heart of San Francisco Fleet Week, unfolding along the city’s iconic waterfront.
