LAUNCHING A NEW TRADITION IN LOS ANGELES
LA Fleet Week Foundation is the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the annual Fleet Week event in Los Angeles. Held during Labor Day weekend, Fleet Week has become a national tradition honoring the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The event has several elements including active military activities, public events, STEM education expo, concerts, and aircraft demonstrations. Once the ships dock, its crew can enjoy the sights and sounds of our city and visit our local attractions, restaurants and shops. The public get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take guided tours of the ships, honor the service men and women, and enjoy unique entertainment.
