Why Helena

The Heart of Montana's Veteran Support

Helena hosts the Fort Harrison VA Montana Health Care System and the Montana Veterans Affairs Division. Montana has one of the highest per-capita veteran populations in the nation, which makes this event both timely and essential.

Building on the success of our first-ever Veterans Rodeo & Resource Fair in Chicago, which drew more than 3,000 attendees and over 1,000 veterans, we are bringing the celebration and the services to the communities that need them most.
