Nonetheless, Fleet Week, the canceled Blue Angels air show, and the Italian Heritage parade brought thousands of revelers to the city’s North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf and Marina neighborhoods for one of the busiest weekends of the year in a city that has dominated national headlines in recent years with stories of violent crime.
