The VetFest will be held as part of a 'Day of Gratitude' - a special free event being arranged by Voice of the Veteran, CityServe International and ChurchLV, in partnership with the Las Vegas Raiders, to honor America’s Veterans, current members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families.

The event will include a patriotic welcome program with celebrities and other dignitaries, as well as performances by chart-topping Country Music Artist Walker Hayes, Grammy nominated and American Idol finalist Danny Gokey, and local Las Vegas magicians Garry and Janine Carson.

There will also be an opportunity to meet current and former members of the Las Vegas Raiders and Raiderettes, as well as participate in giveaways of an estimated $3 million in gift items, including apparel and household necessities.
