Nashville Prepares for Vibrant Veterans Day Celebration with Salute to Service Event

Nashville Gears Up for a Memorable Veterans Day Celebration

Get ready, Nashville! On November 11, 2024, the city will proudly host its Salute to Service event at the Skydeck on Broadway, becoming the perfect destination to honor our veterans. This heartwarming event aligns with Veterans Day and promises to be a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of our military personnel and their families.

A Special Partnership

This year, the spotlight will be on The Mission Continues, a fantastic organization that mobilizes veterans to support under-resourced communities across the U.S. As the main charitable partner for Salute to Service, their mission is all about giving veterans the sense of community and purpose they deserve. The funds raised during the event will assist in providing powerful programs that help veterans find meaningful work and connections in their neighborhoods.

Headlining Performers

Fans of country music will be thrilled to learn that the talented country singer-songwriter, Coffey Anderson, will headline the event! Not only will Anderson be performing, but excitement doesn’t stop there! He will also proudly serve as the grand marshal of the Nashville Veterans Day parade earlier in the day. Participants can expect a delightful musical experience as Anderson takes the stage alongside a lineup of talented artists including BoomTown Saints, Grayson Russell, Cody Jacobs, Jordan Roberts, Kate Kristine, High Rise Hooligan, The Air Force Band: Wild Blue Country, and Milele Dance Academy.

Special Hosts and Speakers

Keeping things lively will be Josh Mancuso, a Nashville-native who is an award-winning actor, comedian, and filmmaker, known for his hilarious take on sports-related humor. He’ll serve as the emcee of this exciting evening! Additionally, attendees can look forward to keynote addresses from Annie Hudson, Chief Programs Officer of The Mission Continues, and a local veteran, LTC Daniel Williams (ret.). It is sure to be an inspiring night!

A Very Special Honor

The Nashville Veterans Day parade is remarkable in its own right, ranking as the fifth largest in the United States, attracting around 60,000 attendees, along with an array of breathtaking floats, bands, and entertainment. The parade winds down Broadway from 13th to 1st Avenue, marking the perfect lead-in to the Salute to Service festivities.

Details and Tickets

Those interested in attending the after-party event can snag tickets for just $15. Even better, any active service member with a military ID will be welcomed to join the fun for free! The purchase process is simple—just head over to the official ticket page.

A Mission Bigger Than Entertainment

Organizers of the event, David “Young Grey” Marone and SFC Joseph James (ret.), emphasize the heart behind Salute to Service. Young Grey states, “We did not put this together for ourselves; we did it for our veterans and for Nashville, the city that has given us so much love and support.” This event is designed to uplift and give back, offering entertainment while enhancing community service.

Join the Celebration!

This wonderful initiative serves not only to celebrate our heroes but also strengthens community ties. Nashville, mark your calendars and prepare to join your fellow citizens in recognizing the sacrifices made by our veterans. For more on what the Salute to Service event entails, keep an eye on local updates as the day approaches! Let’s come together to honor those who have served with heart and soul.
