Some Fleet Week San Diego events have been canceled due to the U.S. government shutdown, organizers announced Monday.
That includes all events that were set to take place at Broadway Pier from Nov. 5 through Nov. 9, according to the San Diego Fleet Week Foundation.
Canceled Fleet Week San Diego events:
Nov. 5: Community Breakfast aboard USS Midway Museum
Nov. 5-7: Student STEM Days
Nov. 7-9: Public Visiting
Nov. 8: Veterans & Military Boat Parade
Fleet Week said the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard will not be able to provide the Navy Ship, Coast Guard Cutter and the Marine Corps equipment needed for those events, citing “the continued lapse in appropriations from the ongoing federal government shutdown."
The Fleet Week Football Classic is still on track for Nov.
