Things To Do At Maryland Fleet Week

Maryland Fleet Week promises to be one of Baltimore’s most attended events of the year. This is the city’s first time hosting fleet week, coinciding with the Chesapeake Bay’s Great Schooner race.

What is Fleet Week?

Fleet Week is a tradition of the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Marines where recently deployed ships dock for a week in major cities. The visit gives active duty servicemen and servicewomen an opportunity to visit the cities while residents have a chance to tour ships and enjoy air shows.

Check out the full schedule on the Maryland State website here.

Aside from the ships, there are tons of other things to do in Baltimore. You’ll probably bump into a sailor at one of them. If you do, be sure to take a #selfiewithasailor.
