Blue Angels Visit Annapolis For Naval Academy Commissioning Week
The Blue Angels are coming to Annapolis for the Naval Academy's Commissioning Week. Here's when the stunt planes will perform.
patch.comI don’t have live access to current feeds right this moment. Here’s what I can tell you based on recent coverage and typical schedule around Annapolis Blue Angels appearances:
-
The Blue Angels often schedule appearances during Naval Academy Commissioning Week in Annapolis, with rehearsals usually held a day or two before the main flight demonstration. Typical flight times are in the mid-afternoon, around 1:45–2:00 p.m. for show segments, with rehearsals earlier in the day. [Examples from past coverage show both rehearsal and demonstration flights during Commissioning Week events in Annapolis.][3][4]
-
When they’re in town, expect bridge and road closures or traffic advisories in the Severn River/Navy– Annapolis area around the rehearsal and show times, and the Navy/Local authorities usually publish specific turnout and parking guidance ahead of time. Traffic impacts have been reported in years with Blue Angels appearances in Annapolis, including temporary closures near the Naval Academy Bridge during demonstrations.[5][3]
-
Local outlets (Patch, CBS Baltimore affiliates, and other Annapolis/Navy coverage) typically publish calendars with exact dates, times, and venues (e.g., City Dock viewing areas, Severn River flyovers, and the approach over Navy Bridge) for the rehearsal and the public demonstration.[2][9][3]
-
For the most precise and up-to-date details (dates, times, weather considerations, spectator guidance, and any crowd-control measures), check the Naval Academy’s official Commissioning Week schedule and the City of Annapolis event notices, as well as local news outlets serving Annapolis and the Baltimore-WDC region around your date of interest. Recent articles from 2024–2026 show this pattern of updates close to event dates.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can:
- Summarize the latest confirmed dates and times for the current year once you specify a target date range.
- Provide a quick weather-focused outlook for the Annapolis area on potential Blue Angels show days.
- Compile a brief, practical plan (best viewing spots, parking tips, and road closures) based on typical Commissioning Week layouts.
Tell me which of these would be most helpful, and the date range you’re interested in, and I’ll tailor it.
