San Diego Fleet Week schedule altered by government shutdown<\/p>\n
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5\/KUSI)<\/a> \u2014 In a patriotic town like San Diego, celebrating the military during Fleet Week has been an annual tradition going back almost 30-years.<\/p>\n But this year, that celebration has been ambushed by a federal government shutdown.<\/p>\n Fleet Week San Diego events at Broadway Pier canceled <\/a><\/p>\n Major events scheduled for San Diego Bay and the Broadway Pier have now been cancelled or postponed<\/a> until further notice.<\/p>\n \u201cWe, as the Fleet Week Foundation that runs San Diego Fleet Week, made the decision that with no ships or equipment at Broadway Pier available during the government shutdown, we had to cancel the events on the Broadway Pier,\u201d said Larry Blumberg of the San Diego Fleet Week Foundation.<\/p>\n And the timing could not be worse.<\/p>\n This year, the Navy is celebrating its 250th birthday, created by the Continental Congress on October 13, 1775.<\/p>\n Gov. Newsom deploys National Guard to support food banks amid federal shutdown <\/a><\/p>\n With smaller events happening all year long, Fleet Week San Diego was supposed to be the icing on the cake for the largest military town in America.<\/p>\n \u201cWell I think this is a huge disappointment for the entire community. We\u2019ve been working all year long for this 250th birthday celebration. A way to share the bond between the military and the community. Now we have to pivot,\u201d says Ashley Camac of the San Diego Fleet Week Foundation.<\/p>\n While the events along the Broadway Pier are a bust, not all is lost. In the military, where there\u2019s a will there\u2019s a way. And on the 250th birthday of the Navy, they have found a way to save or reschedule a few key events.<\/p>\n \u201cThough the government shutdown is something that none of us want to have to deal with, we are going to pivot and make the best of it. We are going to put on some great events, they just won\u2019t be at Broadway Pier,\u201d says Camac.<\/p>\n
