Short answer
- The Blue Angels have historically made appearances in Annapolis around Naval Academy Commissioning Week, with rehearsals and demonstrations typically scheduled in May, sometimes including a flight over City Dock and the Severn River. For 2025–2026 patterns, local outlets and the Naval Academy’s announcements were the primary sources of the schedule, including rehearsal and demonstration times.
What to check for the latest
- Official sources: U.S. Navy Blue Angels page and the U.S. Naval Academy’s events calendar often post flight demonstrations, rehearsal times, and any bridge or street closures related to the events.
- Local news outlets: Annapolis-area outlets (e.g., Patch Baltimore/Annapolis, CBS Baltimore, WJLA coverage) frequently publish updated schedules, road closures, and traffic advisories around Commissioning Week.
- Social updates: City or traffic advisories on municipal social channels and the Blue Angels’ official accounts for any last-minute changes.
Representative patterns from prior years
- Rehearsals often occur a day or two before the main demonstration, with performances typically around 2 p.m. in the afternoons and occasional morning slots.
- Major traffic and bridge closures have been reported near Naval Academy area during demonstrations and rehearsals to accommodate airspace and safety requirements.
