SF Fleet Week celebrates the rich naval tradition in the Bay Area, honors the men and women serving in today's armed forces and facilitates annual disaster preparedness training with the Navy, Marines and local first responders. San Francisco Fleet Week is a non-profit corporation with a committee that produces the annual San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show, Parade of Ships, K9 Heroes, the High School Band Challenge, the Veterans Art Exhibit, MEDEX Civilian & Military Medical Providers Exchange conference, the Senior Leaders Seminar, and the Humanitarian Assistance Village exhibits on Marina Green. The Association also conducts fundraising events throughout the year and partnerships to keep Fleet Week events free to the public.
