SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — There are many places to see and enjoy Fleet Week 2024 even if you're not in San Francisco.

The highly anticipated three-day air show led by the Blue Angels will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

All eyes will be on that airspace between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

On Friday the show starts at 12:45 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday the air show starts at 12:30 p.m

On all three days, the Blue Angels are expected at 3 p.m. – we say “expected” because we know the shows are weather dependent.

A major advantage for San Francisco is that it is the only air show in the United States to feature a commercial airliner, the United 777, in a fully choreographed performance.

If you watch these daring performances from afar, we have something special for you!

We've put together a list of the best local views if you don't plan on visiting the air show's official viewing area. Be warned, these places will probably be full of people too.

Here are ABC7's top 7 locations:
1. Alameda Point
2. Board a ferry – the Red and White or the Blue and Gold Fleet.
3. Emeryville Marina
4. Fort Baker
5. Point Isabel
6. Restaurants with rooftop terraces
7. Angel Island
