About this Event
Join us for HeroFest 2026, a family-friendly celebration benefiting the First Responders Children's Foundation. HeroFest is more than just an event, it is an opportunity for our community to come together and give back to the families of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others.
Taking place Saturday, October 10 at Peace Plaza in Grapevine, HeroFest will be a fun-filled day for the whole family, featuring emergency vehicles, superhero characters, and more. Activities will include face painting, balloon twisting, a bounce house, games, entertainment, live music, and food and beverage options.
Beyond the fun, all proceeds will benefit the First Responders Children’s Foundation, supporting children and families of first responders through scholarships, financial assistance, mental health resources and more.
Bring the family, enjoy the fun and help us celebrate the heroes who serve our community!
The event is free to attend, with tickets available for purchase for entertainment activities.
Every donation helps support the children and families of the first responders who show up for our communities every day.
