Tree Town Music Festival is pleased to announce the nation’s
largest wartime veterans organization, The American Legion, will
once again serve as the official charity of the annual country
music event, which is fast becoming the largest of its kind.
In 2014, thousands of fans descended on Forest City, Iowa, for
the first-year Memorial Day weekend event to catch performances by
some of country music’s biggest stars, including Brad Paisley, Toby
Keith, Brantley Gilbert, Chris Young, Scotty McCreery and more.
For the second 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 continued support of Tree Town Music Festival is a great
display of patriotism,” said Ron Struble, Department Commander for
The American Legion of Iowa. “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.”
Tree Town Music Festival is bringing the hottest rising
stars and established hit-makers in music to Forest City, Iowa,
Memorial Day Weekend (May 21-24). The newly-expanded four-day
event will feature performances by Blake Shelton, Dierks
Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Lee Brice, Eli Young Band, Thomas Rhett,
Chase Rice, Maddie & Tae, Danielle Bradbery, Old Dominion,
Casey Muessigmann, The Last Ride, Joe Denim, Hairball,
Williams & Ree and more. This year’s festival will also
feature The American Legion stage, hosting .38 Special, Chris
Hawkey, Iowa native Ben Lau and others. In addition to
non-stop music from multiple stages, the grounds of the event will
once again be filled with beer tents, food vendors, rock climbing,
zip lines and much more.
