Hey there, sailor! Fleet Week in NYC at its essence is a seven-day celebration to honor the members of the United States Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps. Every year, the weeklong bash starts with the Parade of Ships—a flotilla of visiting vessels and tall ships that cruise along the Hudson river—and continues with military demonstrations, a Memorial Day ceremony and more outstanding things to do around town. We’ll share everything from where to visit in-service ships docked in NYC piers to awesome parties to check out. For more things to do in May, be sure to check our NYC events in May calendar.
