The day is dedicated to honoring and supporting our first responders by providing them with comprehensive and inclusive training and skill enhancement opportunities.

This year's event will feature over 80 attractions and a wide variety of first responder disciplines, showcasing the skills and dedication of our local heroes. Attendees will be able to engage with first responders, learn about their work, and witness firsthand the expertise and bravery required in their line of duty.
