Getting There
Once at the San Francisco Caltrain Station, passengers can transfer to Muni’s 30-Stockton bus for a connection to the Marina Green, where most of the week’s festivities will take place. Muni’s E-Embarcadero historic streetcar line is an option as well, as it runs from the San Francisco Caltrain Station to Fisherman’s Wharf.
San Francisco’s Fleet Week includes a parade of naval ships, tours of vessels, and, of course, aerial shows from the world-famous Blue Angels flight exhibition team. As part of the event, a series of free concerts and other exhibits will take place across the city. For more details check out the 2022 Fleet Week schedule.
