Legacy Fest is a first-of-its-kind national festival— bringing together veterans, service families, and the broader community through history, ceremony, music, wellness, and mission-driven activation.
Legacy Fest is not a political rally, a typical music festival, or a charity fundraiser. It is a large-scale national healing and unity event designed to restore purpose, rebuild community, and elevate culture through history, service, and shared experience.
This gathering bridges world-class production and those who serve to honor history, strengthen community, and activate the Ready and Forward Movement.
