Crowds enjoy final events of San Francisco Fleet Week
Oct 12, 2026
Sunday marked the final day of air shows at San Francisco Fleet Week.
The last show, headlined by the Blue Angels, drew plenty of spectators to the waterfront, but it wasn’t the only Fleet Week event taking place in the city. The sound of music from military bands floated through the air during
Fleet Fest at Fisherman’s Wharf, where people got to check out military technology and pieces of history.
“This is one of those three experiences for the people, the community, to come on out, families, check this place out,” said David Cruise with San Francisco Fleet Week. “We’ve got the SkyStar Wheel. We’ve got live music. There’s a beer garden. There’s lots of displays. There’s a classic car show.”
Last year, Fleet Week was scaled back due, in part, to the partial federal government shutdown. This year, U.S. Marines and sailors were back, along with ship tours along the Embarcadero.
“The goal with an event like this is always that people will come down, really enjoy themselves on our beautiful waterfront, experience not only the event but the surrounding businesses, attractions, experiences, and want to come back to continue to explore,” said Bri Maughan with the Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District.
