And of course, there will be ship tours! Stay tuned for the announcement of which Navy ships will join us.
NOTE: Ship tour lines will open early this year – at 9 AM – so that ship tours can begin at 10 AM.
Please check out the FAQ page on the LA Fleet Week website for advice on what to wear, what to bring and what not to bring, how to get aboard the navy ships, and more.
We’ll see you here over Memorial Day weekend!
