Guide to San Francisco Fleet Week 2026

San Francisco Fleet Week 2026 is underway with events across the city, anchored by the Parade of Ships under the Golden Gate Bridge on Friday and culminating in weekend airshows along the San Francisco Bay waterfront featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Since 1981, the event has honored U.S. service members and has become California’s largest annual civic event, blending military and civilian communities through ship tours, public concerts, safety and response exhibits, and STEM activities. Two signature attractions lead the schedule: the San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show presented by United, headlined by the Blue Angels and including a fully choreographed commercial airline performance by a United Boeing 777, and Fleet Fest at Fisherman’s Wharf with live music, local food vendors, entertainment, and public ship tours. CBS News Bay Area will air live coverage including the 11 a.m. parade and a 3 p.m. Blue Angels show.
