Join Operation Mend at the 6th annual VetFest on Saturday, November 8, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. 

VetFest is a day dedicated to honoring and recognizing veterans and first responders who serve our country and communities. This event has grown from 375 attendees in 2018 to nearly 900 in 2024, with a goal of welcoming over 1,000 attendees this year!

Enjoy live performances by two bands, BBQ, pizza, drinks, and a lively atmosphere filled with music, dancing, and fun.

Veterans and first responders attend free of charge, kids get in free, and there’s a dedicated kids' zone with face painting and bounce houses. There will be convenient parking on-site.

Don’t miss this meaningful and fun-filled celebration of service!
