Hosted by the Greater Brandon Chamber of Commerce, the 2nd Annual Veteran's Fest at the Campo Family YMCA (3414 Culbreath Road) will go down on Thursday, November 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Head to this family friendly Brandon event to commemorate all the veterans that have served in the U.S. military and enjoy over 60 vendors including a number of notable Brandon businesses, non profits, and veterans organizations.

In conjunction with the Military Affairs Council, the Veteran's Fest will host a taps and flag raising ceremony featuring local veterans and ROTC students.  A variety of family fun and entertainment will also be on hand including a raffle with proceeds benefitting the Military Council MacDill Endowment Fund.  ECHO will also be on hand to collect food donations in exchange for raffle tickets as well. These are both great ways to help out the veterans that have done so much for our country as well as the less fortunate in the community around the holiday season.

Best of all, admission and food at the Veteran's Fest come at no cost to you.  This is a free event for the public.  If you're looking for a great, kid-friendly Veteran's Day event in Brandon, check out the 2nd Annual Veteran's Fest on November 10 at the Campo Family YMCA.
