Fleet Week: Los Angeles comes alive with fun for the whole family
Free to the public, this multi-day event attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to the LA Waterfront in San Pedro.
Fleet Week is an annual celebration of the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps hosted in San Pedro. The highlight of the weekend is having the chance to tour active duty vessels from the U.S. Navy and Coastguard.
