Fleet Week in NYC is a seven-day celebration to honor the members of the United States Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps. Every year, the weeklong bash starts with the Parade of Ships—a flotilla of visiting vessels and tall ships that cruise along the Hudson River — and continues with military demonstrations, a Memorial Day ceremony, and more outstanding things to do and parties around the city. You can visit in-service ships docked at NYC piers and attend awesome Fleet Week concerts.
