GROUPS and ORGANIZATIONS being invited back.

This year we are glad to be partnered again with and sponsored by Albemarle County Parks and Recreation Department.

One (1) registration per family. AUG 28, 2022 will be the sixth annual production of a Veterans Outdoor Event. Put on by several local organizations and veterans’ groups. Our 2021 (fifth) was a great success. It has grown into a conglomerate of local organizations and veterans’ groups coming together to put on this spectacular event.

1. Our goal for this event is to provide a free, fun day for veterans, active duty, active/inactive reserve, guard and their families in Charlottesville and surrounding communities. We will have plenty of leisurely outdoor activities, including water activities, bounce house, games for children, demonstrations, ‘Touch the Truck’ display, and tables with information from organizations that support and provide opportunities to veterans. Please note our location is at Walnut Creek Park. There will be spin and fly-fishing instructions offered; and we encourage anyone wishing to fish, have valid licenses and their own fishing tools to cast a line, while at our event. You are also welcome to bring your own boats to the event, please bring appropriate PFDs. We have live music and local business items and gift cards in our raffles. The event will feature a picnic catered by Mission BBQ. We hope veterans and their families are as excited as we are to have this day of fun and appreciation for our local veterans
