Some anniversaries call us to pause. Others call us to gather — and to act.

This year, Warrior Taste Fest falls on the 25th anniversary of September 11th, a milestone that gives this already extraordinary evening even deeper meaning.

We will stand together at the 8th Annual Warrior Taste Fest to honor the lives lost, the courage of those who answered the call to serve, and recognize the resilience and sacrifice of the post-9/11 Warriors shaped by that day.

What to Expect:

Quick-Finish Art & Live Auction — Watch 10 artists create original works in real time, then bid on them that same night. Electric.

Best Under the Big Sky Contest — You're the judge. Taste everything and vote for Best Bite, Best Brew, and Best Cocktail.

Live Music — Enjoy the sounds of HoneyHoller, featuring Lena Marie Schiffer, Kailey Marie and Ani Casabonne.

Silent Auction — Bid on exclusive items and experiences all evening, with early bidding opening online before the event.

Live Auction — Troy Black returns to the mic for live bidding on art and one-of-a-kind experiences.

Paddle Raise for Warriors — The most powerful moment of the night. Raise your paddle, make a direct impact. This is the heartbeat of the evening.

Why Attend? Every ticket, every bid, every taste supports Warriors & Quiet Waters — empowering post-9/11 combat veterans and their families to thrive through peak experiences in nature and evidence-based programs that foster growth, discovery, connection, and community.
