Honoring Our
Veteran Community
Veteran & First Responder Recognition
Be part of a powerful community moment as we recognize St. Louis Area Veterans who continue to thrive and inspire.
Our vision is to build a strong and growing community of veterans and first responders across St. Louis and Missouri who continue to lead, serve, and strengthen the communities around them.
We recognize those whose impact is often unseen but deeply felt, honoring individuals who lead by example and continue to give back with purpose, resilience, and integrity.
We are committed to redefining the narrative around life after service, highlighting strength that endures, leadership that continues, and contributions that strengthen every part of the community.
Together, we are creating a culture where veterans and first responders are seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are and how they continue to serve.
Salute To The Troops
Since 2017, Celebrate St. Louis has honored our service members and their families with a special main-stage recognition ceremony and VIP experience. Through the generosity of sponsors, Celebrate St. Louis is able to invite service members and their families for a day of celebration and acknowledgment of their service and sacrifice to our country. Our invited military VIPs enjoy access to a private, enclosed area and tent that includes food, beverages, merchandise, t-shirts, and special giveaways, just for them. Help us continue to recognize and support our service members and their families in 2026.
Hands-On for Heroes
Join us July 3rd and 4th for a family-friendly celebration where you can meet local veteran organizations, first responders, enjoy interactive activities, and learn how they continue to serve our community.
