A longtime tradition dating back to 1981, San Francisco Fleet Week 2012 may very well be the most anticipated Fall event in San Francisco. Organizers predict that over 1 million spectators will descend upon the city’s northern waterfront to see many spectacles—both in the air and on the sea.
The event’s incredible air show features US Navy Blue Angels, a USMC fly-by, mid-air spectacles performed by the Patriots Jet Team, and many other aerobatic and patriotic shows conducted by some of the best pilots in the world. The Parade of Ships features a number of destroyers and other military vessels that patrol—or have patrolled—the sea.. After the sun sets, you can find a variety of events at nearby venues around San Francisco Bay.
