Fleet Week NYC
- see all dates
Fleet Week NYC takes a starring role in the 250th anniversary celebrations of the United States in 2026, moving from its traditional Memorial Day weekend schedule to Independence Day. The US Navy, US Marine Corps, and US Coast Guard's celebration of sea services invites families to tour ships, watch the Parade of Ships, and enjoy exhibits, military band concerts, and aviation events throughout the week.
The parade of ships floats past the Statue of Liberty, Fort Hamilton, and One World Trade Center.
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.
