There will be static displays on the field, vendors, hands-on activities for adults and children and up to three bands playing at one time. The Army will set up special displays including scaling walls and simulators.

As in years past, there will be a stage area that will feature comedians, musicians, and martial arts displays. A wide variety of foods will be available throughout the day. At noon there will be a special ceremony honoring all branches of the service. That will be followed by a parade and veterans will be the featured guests in the parade.
