Mountain
Valor Fest
2027
What to Expect
Based on past years,
here's what to expect.
Mountain Valor Fest brings together federal, state, and local resources at no cost to participants. Exact 2027 details are still being finalized.
Remembrance Ceremony
Honor those lost on September 11 and through the subsequent wars with a formal remembrance ceremony and flag retirement. Always free, always open to everyone.
Resources On-Site
Connect directly with VA outreach teams, state and local resources, and organizations ready to help veterans and their families navigate available benefits.
Live Music
Live music has been part of Mountain Valor Fest since year one. 2027 lineup to be announced.
Food Trucks
Local food trucks on site all day. Picnic blankets are welcome.
Kids Zone
Bounce house, games, temporary tattoos, free books, and a dedicated safe play area for younger children.
Veteran Story Booth
A dedicated space to record and preserve the stories of those who served. These stories deserve to be heard.
Respite Area
An intentional quiet zone for veterans who need a break from the noise and activity. Veterans managing PTSD, TBI, or sensory sensitivities deserve a space to step back and recharge — and still be part of the day.
