Gary Sinise And The Lt. Dan Band Play Fort Hood This Friday Night

A spectacular night of music, patriotism, and community appreciation is coming to Central Texas. The added bonus is a visit from actor and patriot Gary Sinise.

This Friday evening, July 10, Sadowski Field will play host to the Red, White, and Blue Fest, featuring a highly anticipated performance by Gary Sinise & The Lt.

The evening promises high-energy, live rock-and-roll entertainment paired with activities for all ages. Before the music kicks off, attendees can explore various military hardware displays and enjoy family-friendly entertainment.

Gate Access and Admission Details

Admission to the Red, White, and Blue Fest is entirely free, but entry requires proper identification or clearance. The event is open to everyone holding a valid Department of Defense ID card or an Installation Access Pass. Civilians who do not possess military identification are welcome to attend but must first secure a visitor's pass. These can be obtained prior to the event at the Marvin Leath Visitor Center. Because a large turnout is expected, organizers highly recommend arriving early to secure a good spot. Don't forget to pack your own lawn chairs and blankets.
