Fisherman's Wharf / Northern Waterfront, San Francisco, CA
October 4, 2026 to October 12, 2026
San Francisco Fleet Week runs October 4-12, 2026, across the northern waterfront with ship-related programming and public air-show days. The official air show is scheduled October 9-11 from about noon to 4 p.m. over the waterfront, headlined by the Blue Angels.
Fleet Fest is a free pier festival at Fisherman's Wharf on October 10 and 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with military bands, exhibitors, food trucks, and activities for kids and parents. Use Fleet Fest when you want a ground-level family day without needing air-show tickets.
Confirm ship-tour hours and air-show viewing guidance closer to October, and pack patience for waterfront crowds on air-show weekend.
Cost: Fleet Fest is free; air-show viewing options and any ticketed chalets vary (confirm current details)
