Description

Welcome to Fleet Week New York 2024…Celebrating Those Who Serve! Now in its 36th year, our sea services and allied partners will participate in events throughout the New York tri-state area from May 22 - 28.


“Fleet Week is about celebrating those who serve and recognizing the unyielding strength of our Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard team," said Commander Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Rear Adm. Wesley McCall. "As we come together to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during their service, we are reminded of the diverse and inclusive fighting force that is currently serving to protect national security and preserve our way of life. Our service members are excited for the opportunity to engage with the community and create lasting connections with the people of New York during this time-honored tradition.”

Throughout the weekend, explore a variety of displays, activities, and demos from the military, including the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and even some antique military vehicles. The weekend concludes on Monday, May 27, with the Intrepid Museum’s annual Memorial Day ceremony.
