On Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 10:45 AM, San Diego Bay will come alive for the Veterans & Military Boat Parade, a spectacular salute to those who have served our country. Dozens of decorated boats will cruise the waterfront in honor of Veterans Day, creating a festive and patriotic celebration that can be enjoyed from some of the city’s most iconic waterfront spots, including Shelter Island, Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, and Coronado Tidelands Park.

Whether you’re a local or visiting for Fleet Week San Diego, this is one of the most meaningful events of the season — a chance to honor active duty military, veterans, and their families while experiencing San Diego’s scenic bay. After the parade, extend your stay to enjoy more Fleet Week festivities, explore nearby attractions, or relax at your hotel just minutes from the action.
