Grassroots Spotlight: What is NRA Freedom Fest?

The strength of NRA-ILA Grassroots is based largely on the important networking relationships built within Second Amendment communities nationwide. For the last several years, your NRA-ILA Grassroots Team has been working closely with community partners to elevate that critical outreach and build signature NRA-ILA Grassroots events celebrating freedom and firearms including an exciting opportunity called NRA Freedom Fest.

The pioneer partner for NRA Freedom Fest is Peacemakers Gun Range in Howell, Michigan, and NRA-ILA is excited for the upcoming NRA Freedom Fest on October 7th, which  should be the biggest celebration yet! This partnership has flourished over the years, with buildable excitement and exponential growth within the Second Amendment community. This year, NRA Freedom Fest will feature more than 25 vendors, such as Sig Sauer, MTN OPS, Benchmade, Vortex, HK, Holosun, Silencer Shop, Federal Premium, and Ducks Unlimited, among others, and a chance to win free trips to Sig Sauer Academy and Vortex HQ! Attendees will also enjoy free live-fire and training demonstrations, displays of new products, and a chance to talk with some of the top leaders from gun manufacturers, as well as gun, hunting, sportsmen, and political groups. These events are truly a festival of freedom and firearms, and we are excited and grateful to the many coalition partners that have helped build these NRA Freedom Fests into such exciting celebrations.

This NRA Freedom Fest grassroots model has been adopted by your NRA-ILA Grassroots Field staff with the hopes of bringing one to your state. NRA Freedom Fest is a FREE event that allows NRA to showcase its strong ties to the community and bring as many of your fellow patriots as possible, together in a fun and impactful way. We hope to see you at an NRA Freedom Fest soon!
