Legion returning to Tree Town Festival

The American Legion will again serve as the official charity of the Tree Town Music Festival, held Memorial Day weekend, May 26-29, in Forest City, Iowa.

This will be the third year for the festival, which has drawn thousands of fans to catch performances by some of country music’s biggest stars, including Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Brantley Gilbert, Chris Young, Scotty McCreery, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Lee Brice, Eli Young Band, Thomas Rhett, Chase Rice and more.

And for the third year, American Legion service officers from Iowa and Minnesota will be onsite to meet with veterans and their families to help them with their Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and health-care interests. American Legion service officers are well-trained experts in VA programs and services. Soldier’s Wish will also be in attendance, granting wishes to soldiers, veterans and their families as a way to honor them for their bravery and sacrifice to our country. The American Legion will also be conducting daily 50/50 raffles to raise money for veterans’ programs.

“The Tree Town Music Festival is a great opportunity for The American Legion to let veterans and the public know about all the great programs The American Legion has to offer veterans, their families and our communities,” Department of Iowa Adjutant John Derner said. “We look forward to spending the weekend leading up to Memorial Day at Tree Town Music Festival with veterans and their families while remembering our fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate price for our nation’s freedom.”

This year’s Tree Town Music Festival will feature performances by Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen, Sam Hunt, Old Dominion, Vince Neil and more. In addition to music from multiple stages, the grounds of the event will once again be filled with food vendors, rock climbing, zip lines and much more.
