5 years of community. One incredible day.

Join Greencastle Consulting for the 5th Annual VetFest in Malvern, a free, family-friendly festival celebrating veteran-owned businesses and honoring the military community. The event has particular significance this year as it comes on the day after America remembers the September 11th terrorist attacks with a 25th year anniversary. However, while the event will recognize the sacrifices made on 9/11, it will also be a community gathering of support and positive vibes.

Enjoy live entertainment, local vendors, food trucks, activities for all ages, and the opportunity to support veteran entrepreneurs while connecting with community organizations. Whether you’re a veteran, military family member, or community supporter, VetFest offers something for everyone.

Included in the live music is The Jovon Neman Band, a country artist from Philly, United States Airforce veteran and current Delaware firefighter. You can follow Jovon here on Instagram.

This year the event welcomes a new vendor & artisan–Cynthia Taylor Mould who hand paints felted cowboy hats. I met Cyndy this past May at the Lansdowne Arts on the Avenue Festival and we have since stayed in touch regularly on Instagram PM. A few months ago I sent Cyndy a message with a handful of suggestions of events that would fit her vibe–and VetFest was one of them! I’m so tickled they accepted her vendor application as she is a perfect fit! You can shop her one-of-a-kind works of art hats at the festival on Saturday. Of course, you can follow Cyndy on Instagram here.
