Every November, the city of Escondido comes together for something truly special: North County VetFest, a heartfelt celebration honoring the men and women who have served our country. It’s a day filled with pride, gratitude, and community spirit — from the parade and live music to local organizations connecting veterans with resources and support.
This event isn’t just about remembering our heroes — it’s about thanking them, together, as a community. Stef Holden, Co-Chair of North County VetFest, shares how this year’s event is coming together, what’s new, and how you can get involved in honoring those who’ve given so much.
