Federal Government Shutdown Poses Challenges for Bay Area and Fleet Week Events

The impending federal government shutdown is set to significantly impact the Bay Area, with various national parks, including parts of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Muir Woods, closing their doors. Major events like the Blue Angels performance at the San Francisco Fleet Week and the California International Airshow in Salinas are also in jeopardy, as federal funding is crucial for these military demonstrations. With approximately 150,000 federal workers facing furloughs and no pay, the implications extend beyond tourism, affecting resources and services across California. Local officials are making contingency plans, while residents seek clarity on what to expect during this challenging time.
