The U.S. Navy is preparing to bring a Navy Week to Miami during the week of  Jan. 23-29, as the first Navy Week of the calendar year. Miami Navy Week will give the community an  opportunity to learn about the Navy, its Sailors and its importance to national security and prosperity.  

Miami Navy Week will bring between 50 and 75 Sailors from across the nation to volunteer throughout the  community and discuss why the Navy matters to Miami. The program last visited Miami in 2019.    

Miami Navy Week will feature in-person demonstrations, performances, and engagements throughout the  week that will include:  

Senior Navy Leaders – Flag officer and senior Navy leaders with ties to Miami and the surrounding  area.  

Namesake Sailors – Sailors serving on the Ohio-class submarine USS Florida (SSGN-728).  Navy Band Southeast – Performances and masterclasses with Navy Musicians.  Navy Expeditionary Combat Command – Educational STEM presentations and fitness  demonstrations by technicians, medics, and divers.

Navy Weeks are the service’s signature outreach program, designed to allow the citizens of Miami to learn  about the Navy, its people, and its importance to national security and prosperity. The Navy Office of  Community Outreach (NAVCO) coordinates Navy Weeks.  

“We are excited to bring the Navy Week program to Miami,” said NAVCO’s director, Cmdr. Anthony Falvo.  “Seapower and America’s Navy are more important now than ever before. The U.S. Navy remains our  nation’s most powerful instrument of military influence and Navy Weeks allow us to showcase how the Navy  serves America at sea, in the air, and ashore.”  

Since 2005, the Navy Week program has served as the Navy’s flagship outreach effort to regions without a  significant Navy presence, with over 250 Navy Weeks held in more than 80 different U.S. markets.    

“We coordinate about 75 outreach events during a Navy Week through corporate, civic, government,  education, media, veterans, and community service engagements,” said NAVCO Navy Week program  manager Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Chambers. “We are looking forward to another great year of engagements and  bringing the Navy to every corner of the United States.”
