Seattle Fleet Week Maritime Celebration

The spectacle known as the Seattle Fleet Week returns to Seafair once again. The celebration starts with the Parade of Ships through Elliott Bay followed by a week of events where the public is invited to meet the sailors and guardsmen, enjoy free music, and take ship tours. Seafair has hosted Fleet Week on the Seattle Waterfront since 1950 in celebration of the men and women who serve our country.

This year Seafair, along with Boeing, the Seattle Navy League, and the Port of Seattle, is proud to welcome the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.

Event schedule:

Parade of Ships: Seattle Waterfront

Join us at Pier 62 on July 21 as ships from the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and the Seattle Fire Department fire boat parade around Elliott Bay followed by docking and demonstrations at Pier 66.
