ANN ARBOR, MI — Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor will host its fifth annual Vet Fest on Saturday, Aug. 1, bringing together military veterans, active-duty service members and their families for a day of free food, entertainment and access to community resources, according to a May 6 announcement.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. near the campus main entrance off East Huron River Drive. The college’s Wadhams Veterans Center is organizing the festival in collaboration with multiple veterans organizations across Washtenaw County.
