Tree Town Music Festival has announced the nation's largest wartime veterans organization, The American Legion, will once again serve as the official charity of the annual country music event, which is fast becoming the largest of its kind.

In 2014, thousands of fans descended on Forest City, Iowa, for the first-year Memorial Day weekend event to catch performances by some of country music's biggest stars, including Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Brantley Gilbert, Chris Young, Scotty McCreery and more.

For the second year, American Legion service officers from Iowa and Minnesota will be onsite to meet with veterans and their families to help them with their Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and health-care interests. American Legion service officers are well-trained experts in VA programs and services. Soldier's Wish will also be in attendance, granting wishes to soldiers, veterans and their families as a way to honor them for their bravery and sacrifice to our country.

"The continued support of Tree Town Music Festival is a great display of patriotism," said Ron Struble, Department Commander for The American Legion of Iowa. "We look forward to spending the weekend leading up to Memorial Day at Tree Town Music Festival with veterans and their families while remembering our fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate price for our nation's freedom."

Tree Town Music Festival is bringing the hottest rising stars and established hit-makers in music to Forest City, Iowa, Memorial Day Weekend (May 21-24). The newly-expanded four-day event will feature performances by Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Lee Brice, Eli Young Band, Thomas Rhett, Chase Rice, Maddie & Tae, Danielle Bradbery, Old Dominion, Casey Muessigmann, The Last Ride, Joe Denim, Hairball, Williams & Ree and more. This year's festival will also feature The American Legion stage, hosting .38 Special, Chris Hawkey, Iowa native Ben Lau and others. In addition to non-stop music from multiple stages, the grounds of the event will once again be filled with beer tents, food vendors, rock climbing, zip lines and much more.

Single-day tickets are now available for $35 for Thursday and $80 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Four-day passes are available for $150 and VIP tickets for $525 until April 6. For ticket-holders looking for the true festival experience, camping is available starting at $100. Whether you have a two-person tent or jumbo home on wheels, Tree Town Music Festival has campsite options to meet your needs.
