America's Navy will come home to St. Louis September 6-12.
St. Louis has been chosen as a host city for a Navy Week celebration in 2010, giving area residents an opportunity to meet some of the Navy's Sailors and learn about the Navy's critical mission and its broad-ranging capabilities.

- The Navy Leap Frogs Parachute Team- Navy rock bands and ceremonial bands- Navy admiral speakers- Navy divers- Flight simulators and other interactive displays- and Sailors from namesake ships and submarines.
A wide variety of events are scheduled during each Navy Week, including:
- Engagement with local corporate, civic and government leaders- Navy Band musical performances- Dive demonstrations in local aquariums- Visits to area schools- and community service projects and events with local sports franchises, to name only a few.
In 2010, 20 cities have been selected to host a Navy Week. These cities include: Tampa; Phoenix; Charleston, S.C.; San Antonio, Texas; Des Moines, Iowa; Kansas City; Birmingham, Ala.; Spokane, Wash.; Little Rock, Ark.; Milwaukee, Wisc.; Boston; Minneapolis; Chicago; Boise, Idaho; Baltimore; Cleveland; St. Louis; Salt Lake City; Atlanta; and Dallas. |
