Join us in Downtown OWA on November 8th for Salute & Celebrate, a full day honoring our veterans and active military! Kick off the morning with a presentation of colors, the National Anthem, and a moving recognition of heroes on OWA Island. Then explore patriotic fun across Downtown, from thank-you note writing and the Wall of Honor to dog tag decorating, themed photo ops, and inflatable challenges inspired by military training. Stick around for a live performance from local bands playing classic rock, country, & patriotic tunes as we come together to salute those who serve.
Bring the whole family to celebrate, honor, and enjoy a day filled with pride, gratitude, and community spirit! Check out all the details below!
