Las Vegas is getting ready to roll out the red, white and blue carpet again, as a national Day of Gratitude returns to Allegiant Stadium. The daylong program is set to honor U.S. service members and their families, timed to the anniversary of D-Day as part of America’s 250th commemoration. Organizers are pitching it as a blend of ceremony, live music and on-site services tailored to veterans and military families.
Organizers and partners
CityServe, Voice of the Veteran and Love Has No Limits are teaming up to present the event, with the Las Vegas Raiders and America250 listed as partners, according to CityServe. The announcement thanks the Raiders for making Allegiant Stadium available and frames the June program as a national tribute.
What to expect
Organizers say the 2026 Day of Gratitude will feature a patriotic awards ceremony, live music, family-friendly activities and dozens of resource booths offering VA enrollment, health screenings, housing support and employment assistance, according to Day of Gratitude. The site also notes that gratitude gifts will be distributed during and after the program and invites veterans and families to join a waitlist for registration.
Inaugural turnout and local partners
Organizers point back to the June 8, 2024, inaugural Day of Gratitude at Allegiant Stadium, which they say registered more than 15,000 veterans, service members and family members and distributed millions in goods and services. CityServe’s archive and Voice of the Veteran’s event page both describe the scale of the 2024 program, and the Nevada Department of Veterans Services says its staff took part in the effort.
How to get updates
Registration for the 2026 event has not yet opened. Organizers are asking interested veterans and family members to join the event waitlist and say ticketing details will be announced through the official site. The announcement lists [email protected] for media requests, according to WABC, and the event maintains a media room for press materials.
