Portland Fleet Week takes place every year in the month of June, at the same time as the Portland Rose Festival, and is planned this year from June 8, 2011 – June 12,2011 at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon.

Every year for Portland Fleet Week, Navy ships dock in Portland and the ships’ Sailors get a much needed shore leave, and fan out across the city. In addition, there are U.S. Coast Guard ships and Guardsmen, and U.S. Marines on leave as well. Some years there are also naval ships from other countries like Canada or Great Britain that take part in Portland Fleet Week as well.
