Palos Verdes Celebrates Port Of Los Angeles Fleet Week 2024!

Palos Verdes homes owners will be celebrating LA Fleet Week May 22 through May 27, 2024, with the arrival of large navy ships which will be visiting the Port of Los Angeles.  The list of this year’s visiting ships are not published yet due to security issues, but you can check one week before the Memorial Day weekend to see which ships are coming to town.  This year they will be hosting the first Navy aircraft carrier to visit LA in 13 years and will be an exciting edition to the visiting ships.
