31st ANNUAL BUFFALO CHIP FREEDOM CELEBRATION

Join in the day-long celebration of the brave men and women who have selflessly served and, in some instances, lost their lives.

A military branch color guard will present the colors on the Wolfman Jack Stage followed by to a moving rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner.

The life of a veteran will be changed forever when they are presented with a specially trained service dog on the Buffalo Chip Main Stage.

After sacrificing for our freedoms, an active-duty female combat-wounded amputee will receive a modified Zero Motorcycle designed with her needs in mind. The specially modified bike will be presented on the Buffalo Chip Main Stage.

Freedom isn’t free, but the motorcycle being given away in the first-ever Veteran’s Bike Raffle won’t cost you a dime. If you’re a veteran with an honorable discharge, visit one of many registration locations throughout the Buffalo Chip property between Friday, Aug. 5 and Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022 to enter your name. The winner will be announced on the Wolfman Jack Stage during the Freedom Celebration presentation and ride home after the rally on a brand new 2022 motorcycle with all tax covered.

The mission of patriotic clothing brand OP1VET is “Changing the Life of 1 Veteran at a Time.” During the Freedom Celebration, they’ll be doubling up by providing freedom, independence and mobility to two disabled veterans when they present them with Action Trackchairs on the Buffalo Chip Main Stage.

Help honor select members of the military for their courage, sacrifices and heroic patriotism during the Bob Hanson Distinguished Service Award Presentation.

Walk or ride through a majestic display of 800 proudly waving American Flags near the West Campground Entrance. Freedom Field honors soldiers past and present, including those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. One stately flag stands every 10 feet surrounding a reflection area containing a memorial stone honoring all branches of the military and POWs. This display is open every day during the rally.

Standing proudly behind the Battlefield Cross Sculpture and Freedom Field is the AVTT Veterans Memorial Wall. Each year the Patriot Guard Riders assist in putting up this wall so you can see the names and pay your respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice while defending our freedoms.
