The purpose of our Vet Fest is to bring together veterans, military families, and the local community in a unified, family-friendly environment that promotes connection, access to critical resources, and appreciation for those who have served. This event aims to strengthen community partnerships, increase awareness of veteran support services, and celebrate the resilience and contributions of our nation’s heroes. Hosted at Mission County Park, Vet Fest is a community-driven initiative led by the San Antonio Coalition for Veterans and Families (SACVF) to address the ongoing needs of veterans in Military City USA. Recognizing gaps in access to services, social connection, and public awareness, Vet Fest was created as a centralized event where organizations, service providers, and the community can come together to support, honor, and empower veterans and their families in a meaningful and engaging way.
