San Francisco Fleet Week 2025: Air Show Schedule, Viewing Spots, And More

Fleet Week is one of fall’s most anticipated events in San Francisco, and it’s almost here. The week-long celebration is every October, and this year it is between October 5 and 13 . The week includes numerous events, including live music, a boat parade, and ship tours, but the main event every year is the Air Shows. Friday through Sunday, the Fleet Week Airshow features numerous planes, including the Blue Angels and even a United Commercial plane. Fleet Week 2025 Air Show schedule --------------------------------- The air show is scheduled for three days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday . If the weather is unsuitable for flying, the airshow could be delayed or canceled, so be sure to check the forecast before heading out to see the show. The airshow is the only one in the United States with a commercial plane, the United 777 , included in the choreography. San Franciscans can also expect to see (and hear) the Blue Angels flying above the city in the days leading up to the airshow. * Friday, October 10: 11:15 am to 4 pm * Saturday, October 11: 11 am to 4 pm * Sunday, October 12: 11 am to 4 pm Air Show viewing spots ---------------------- You can see the airshow throughout the city, but for the best views, we recommend heading to either the waterfront or a deck or terrace with a view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Some popular viewing spots include Crissy Field , Marina Green, Twin Peaks, and Aquatic Park . Another viewing option is cruises on the water , which offer a unique view of the show.
