Warriors and Quiet Waters Taste Fest September 6: 

Where Flavor and Philanthropy Unite--Support one of onWater's Primary Partners!

Warrior Taste Fest is the most exciting way to give back to veterans! This annual culinary and art extravaganza, hosted by Warriors & Quiet Waters, isn't just an event, it's a celebration of resilience, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of post-9/11 combat veterans and their loved ones. As the most anticipated gathering of the year, we invite you to savor the extraordinary offerings from local breweries, distilleries, and restaurants, witness artists finishing their creations right in front of you, and enjoy local musical performances — all while contributing to a noble cause.

Taste, Experience, and Support the Cause: Immerse yourself in a world where each taste carries the weight of gratitude, as Warrior Taste Fest goes beyond the culinary and art celebration. By attending, you become an integral part of the Warriors & Quiet Waters mission to empower post-9/11 combat veterans and their loved ones to thrive and live purpose-driven lives through peak experiences in nature, meaningful relationships, and a sense of community.
