Boots and Beats for our Brave in Coconut Creek

Get ready to dust off your boots and kick up some fun under the South Florida sun as Boots & Beats ParkFest comes to Tradewinds Park & Stables in Coconut Creek on Sunday, November 9, 2025, for an afternoon of music, food, and heartfelt community spirit.
Presented by Broward County Parks and Recreation, this patriotic, family-friendly festival—officially titled ParkFest: Boots & Beats for Our Brave—celebrates the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans while bringing together neighbors for a day of pure country fun.
The event kicks off at 1:00 PM, filling the park with the high-energy sounds of Whisky Six, one of South Florida’s premier country bands known for their rock-infused take on modern country favorites. Guests can expect a lively afternoon of toe-tapping tunes, dancing on the grass, and plenty of local flavor.
Alongside the live music, festivalgoers can enjoy a variety of food trucks, craft vendors, and a Kid Zone offering fun activities for the little ones. Veterans and their families will be honored with special recognitions and a Veterans Pinning Ceremony, creating a meaningful connection between the entertainment and the event’s mission to “Celebrate Our Brave.”
Set within the scenic green spaces of Tradewinds Park, one of Broward County’s most beloved outdoor venues, Boots & Beats ParkFest offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and big-hearted celebration. Bring your blanket, lawn chairs, and your dancing spirit for a day that’s as inspiring as it is entertaining.

U.S. Southern Command Fishing Club Saturdays Hosted by Vet Info

Fishing Club Saturdays – A Reel Success!
On October 18th, Vet Info, in partnership with U.S. Southern Command Garrison, MWR, and the BOSS Program, hosted Fishing Club Saturdays at the facility. The event was a big success, giving service members and their families a chance to enjoy the outdoors together.
Children and adults alike had the opportunity to learn fishing techniques from Vet Info staff and Bass Pro Shops Pro Staff Captain Bill Watts. While not everyone landed a catch, smiles were abundant and memories were made!
We’re excited to continue this fun and educational event into 2026 — helping even more families get hooked on fishing.

🎣 All equipment is provided.

Vet Info in Partnership with Guitar Center of Miami Provides Guitars for Music Therapy at the Miami VA Hospital

Vet Info is proud to continue its partnership with the Miami VA Hospital, supporting Veterans through the power of music. Together with Guitar Center of Miami, we are once again providing guitars for individual and group music therapy sessions. This marks the third time Vet Info has been able to donate instruments, ensuring that Veterans have greater access to the therapeutic and educational benefits of music.

For many Veterans, the cost of a guitar can be a barrier, leaving them limited to practice only during their weekly classes. Through this program, Veterans who cannot afford an instrument are given the opportunity to take a guitar home to practice and grow their skills. Those who demonstrate commitment by attending classes regularly and showing progress may even earn the chance to keep the guitar, as determined by their instructor.

Thanks to our partnership with Guitar Center, Vet Info has provided more than 20 guitars to date—and we are committed to continuing this effort for years to come, helping Veterans find healing, focus, and joy through music.

Thank you – Neno and staff for the support of Vet Info and the veterans who served our nation.
