In addition to airing a total of 19 hours of primetime SHARK WEEK programming - the most hours in its 28-year history - Discovery is giving fans the opportunity to experience SHARK WEEK in eleven exciting and jawsome ways.

Sharks will be the hottest trend this summer. SHARK WEEK and Macy's are teaming up to bring style and entertainment together to fans across the country. As part of the exciting partnership, SHARK WEEK will take over select Macy's stores with jaw-dropping promotional displays and fun takeaways for shoppers. Until July 7, Macy's famed windows and in-store visuals will feature thrilling SHARK WEEK themed presentations at its flagship store in New York City, Macy's Herald Square, as well as at Macy's locations in Downtown Boston, Center City Philadelphia and Lenox Square Atlanta. The shark fun continues with additional in-store only promotional displays in Macy's Century City, Los Angeles and Macy's at the Mall at Millenia, Orlando.

Southwest Airlines and SHARK WEEK are teaming up once again to make waves this summer. From now until July 12, Southwest and Discovery will deliver exclusive Shark Week content onboard Wi-Fi-equipped aircrafts via free live television, including a first look at Ninja Sharks and three previously aired Shark Week episodes.

The Great Clips partnership will include salon takeovers with co-branded signage in salons nationwide.

This summer, stay fresh and clean for a good cause! Returning SHARK WEEK marketing partner Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics will once again bring their limited edition Shark Fin Soap to 200+ stores across North America as well as online at lushusa.com and lush.ca from July 5 to July 19 while supplies last.

In addition, there will be an on-air PSA, as well as digital and social promotion on all SHARK WEEK and Lush's platforms.

SHARK WEEK gets even sweeter with custom shark-themed cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake.
