What is United States Naval Academy Commissioning Week?

The United States Naval Academy Commissioning Week is a celebration for Midshipmen, their families, and the entire town of Annapolis. Woven into the fabric of our historic city, visitors come from all over to celebrate this special honor with graduating Midshipmen.

From downtown Annapolis to all of Anne Arundel County, there is much to explore while visiting for Commissioning Week. We invite you to an authentic Chesapeake Bay experience. Filled with seafood, sailing on the bay, history tours, and boutique shopping - all within walking distance of the U.S. Naval Academy. Extend your stay to the Baltimore Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport/Arundel Mills region of the county for action-packed gaming, sports, and unique experiences. Plus, outlet shopping at Maryland's top attraction, Arundel Mills Mall.
