About this Event
Join us for VetsFest 2024, a livestream concert and online auction benefiting veteran small business training, happening on November 16 from 4 PM to 10 PM. This exciting event will feature live music, military transition success stories, and an inside look at our nonprofit programs that help veterans and their families launch successful businesses. We are coming off the momentum of National Veterans Small Business Week and our training series, VetBizWeek, which reaches over 4,000 veterans annually. Our goal is to raise enough funds to train 5,000 veterans in 2025.
Virtual tickets are free, and you can join from anywhere to watch the 10-camera broadcast on platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, and our official website, VetsFest.org. Book your virutal ticket to be included in special gifts and prizes from our sponsors delivered before and during the concert.
The event will be hosted by beloved morning radio personality Sandy McIlree, host of The Sandy Show on iHeartRadio. Our auction items, going live soon, include exciting prizes like sports memorabilia, travel packages, affordable family activities, and even an acoustic guitar autographed by Taylor Swift (yes, you can keep it or smash it—your choice!).
One special highlight of the evening: Purple Bee will be cutting an original vinyl album during the event. You’ll have the chance to win one of only two vinyl copies through an auction or raffle - more details coming soon.
For those seeking a one-of-a-kind experience, VIP in-person tickets are available for an all-access pass to the live event at Purple Bee Studios near Lake Travis, Austin. This exclusive experience includes live music across two stages—one inside the studio where the broadcast will be managed, and an outdoor tage with intimate acoustic sets.
Free adult beverages will be provided by Iron Wolf Ranch & Distillery and Austin Beerworks, and a variety of food trucks will be on-site to satisfy every palate. Please note, the event is 21+ and not suitable for small children.
Presented by Transition Skills Training, the event is supported by our amazing partners: Purple Bee Studios, Texas Veterans Commission, Grow With Google, Iron Wolf Ranch & Distillery, Austin Beerworks, and Skills After Service.
