Fleet Week NYC guide
Honor the seafaring wing of the United Stated armed forces during Fleet Week NYC by attending these events and services
Hello, sailors! 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 and parties around the city. In our guide to the annual affair, we share everything you need to know from where to visit in-service ships docked at NYC piers to awesome Fleet Week concerts to check out. For more things to do in May, be sure to check our NYC events in May calendar.
