Fleet Week Coming to Houston

U.S. Navy ships, sailors, and marines will travel to Houston November 5-12 to bring the first-ever Fleet Week to the state of Texas.

The week-long event will feature tours of the ships, military history and heritage information booths, and displays of military equipment. The event will serve as an opportunity to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. All tours of the ships are free.

Week Houston will also provide opportunities for service members to see local landmarks, perform volunteer work, visit local schools, attend entertainment events, and most importantly experience Houston hospitality.

The always popular Navy Band Southeast will perform at a variety of locations throughout the week.

Currently, three ships and more than 1,000 service members are anticipated to be a part of the festivities.

More information will be released as it becomes available via www.fleetweekhouston.com.
