Vet Fest 2026 is the ultimate in-person gathering for veterans and their immediate families—created to celebrate service, strengthen community, and connect attendees with real, accessible support.
Hosted by VETLIFE, this annual event brings together veteran families for a full day of resources, recognition, and connection in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Guests can access trusted information and on-site support for benefits, healthcare, employment, education, and more—while enjoying live music, food trucks, giveaways, and engaging activities for kids.
Vet Fest is designed to be both meaningful and enjoyable. Whether you’re seeking guidance, community, or simply a great day out with your family, Vet Fest brings it all together in one place.
Registration is required, and attendees will be asked to show military identification for entry. Acceptable forms include a Department of Defense ID, VA Health Card, Veteran ID Card, or a veteran designation on a state-issued driver’s license.
Vet Fest 2026 is completely free for veterans and their immediate families.
