Fleet Week originated in 1908 when President Theodore Roosevelt's ``Great White Fleet'' visited our City. It became a San Francisco annual tradition in 1981, when then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein established it as a city celebration. Fleet Week is now the Bay Area’s opportunity to pay tribute to the men and women of our nation’s Navy and Marine services. Typically held during the first week of October, Fleet Week usually features Navy ships dock-side, while the Blue Angels and other aircraft fly above the San Francisco Bay. Fisherman's Wharf serves as the prime viewing spot for Fleet Week airshow and the hub of Fleet Week related events.

Fleet Week 2008 will be October 9 -14, 2008. The Air Show will be on October 11-12, 2008. More complete information will be added in September, 2008.
