Navy Week
About Navy Week
The Navy Week program is the Navy’s primary outreach effort into areas of the country that do not have a significant Navy presence. Since 2005, there have been more than 250 Navy Weeks held in more than 90 different U.S. cities. A Navy Week brings in a variety of outreach assets, equipment, Navy Sailors and civilians for a week-long series of events with leaders and organizations representing all sectors of the city.
