Spectators capture planes on their cellphones during the Fleet Week air show at Pier 39 in San Francisco Oct. 9, 2021.Â
While San Francisco's Fleet Week has been going on all week, anticipation grows for the scheduled Saturday and Sunday events despite the notable absence of many U.S. armed forces because of the ongoing government shutdown.
Serving as the official West Coast celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy, events such as Fleet Fest, boat tours and the celebration's famous air show are set to take place across San Francisco, especially the city's northern waterfront.
The highly anticipated performance of the Blue Angels and annual parade of ships were suspended following the government shutdown at the beginning of October. Without a funding package passed through Congress, U.S. armed forces were instructed to only perform essential activities which meant an appearance at Fleet Week was not likely.
However, armed forces from allied countries who were already scheduled to participate in this year's celebration stepped up to ensure the annual event could still be full of activities.
The Colombian Navy's 250-foot tall ship ARC Gloria sailed under the Bay Bridge on Thursday and will remain on display at piers 15-17 throughout the weekend for visitors.
Friday morning saw the arrival of the Royal Canadian Navy Ship Nanaimo to Pier 19. Ship tours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Canada not only sent vessels to San Francisco, but also the headliners of this year's airshow, the Royal Canadian Air Force's 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, commonly referred to as the Snowbirds.
Fleet Fest, the accompanying festival of exhibits, vehicle showcases and resource fair, will take place at Fisherman's Wharf on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m for free.
The airshows will happen from Friday until Sunday, starting at 12:15 p.m., if weather conditions permit. While Fisherman's Wharf is the site of Fleet Fest, spectators can position themselves across the northern San Francisco waterfront to watch.
Schedule of airshow performances:
12:15 p.m. — Opening Ceremonies
12:25 p.m. — United Airlines 777 Demonstration
12:37 p.m. — Jack Aces P-51 Demo Team
12:52 p.m. — Patriots Jet Team
1:37 p.m. — Acemaker T-33
2:09 p.m. — Jack Aces P-51 Demo Team
2:26 p.m. — Randy Howell/Cory Lovell Formation Demo
2:36 p.m. — United Airlines 777 Demonstration
2:48 p.m. — Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds Demonstration Team
Public transportation agencies will be working to ensure members of the public can attend the events without the hassle of finding parking in a very limited area.
Muni will reroute some services as well as increase frequency on certain lines. More information can be found at sfmta.com/travel-updates.
BART announced it will be operating longer trains to increase capacity on Saturday and Sunday for people traveling across the region.
The San Francisco Bay Ferry will also increase services in addition to offering a free "short hop" service between the San Francisco Ferry Terminal and Pier 41, which is located near Fisherman's Wharf.
Additionally, the ferry agency will be offering a special Richmond scenic trip that with close views of some of the Bay's most iconic landmarks, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the San Francisco waterfront. Tickets must be purchased in advance on a first-come first serve basis. Interested individuals should go to sanfranciscobayferry.com.
