What is the Chippewa Valley Veterans Tribute?
The Chippewa Valley Veterans Tribute is a community-built memorial honoring all who have served—past and present. Stroll the Veterans Tribute Trail to see Legacy Stones, benches, military flags, sentinel statues, and the new “Welcome Home” statue—a place for reflection, remembrance, and education.
Where is it?
You’ll find the Tribute in River Prairie Park on Blazing Star Blvd., Altoona, WI 54720—just east of Eau Claire in the River Prairie district. Look for the large U.S. flag and trail overlooking the pond. Besides our tribute, this park is an incredible location including riverside trails, bald eagles nest, DNR informational panels, artwork and other tourist stops.
Patriotic Sing Along
Join Chippewa Valley Veterans Tribute for an evening of patriotism, remembrance, and community as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday at the River Prairie Park Amphitheatre on July 2 from 6:00 PM–7:30 PM.
Enjoy a patriotic sing-along accompanied by a live brass quintet performing favorites including the National Anthem, military branch medleys, and more. Bring your voice, your family, and your American spirit as we celebrate together with pride.
This special evening will also feature the official unveiling of the newest tribute at the Chippewa Valley Veterans’ Tribute: the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, made possible through a generous donation from VFW Post 10405.
Additional event highlights include:
A Missing Man Formation flyover
Golf cart rides along the trail
Field of Flags viewing
We invite the community to come together to honor those who served, reflect on our nation’s history, and celebrate the freedoms we share
Partnership with Eau Claire Event District
America is turning 250, and Eau Claire Event District is throwing a birthday party the Chippewa Valley will never forget. Country Jam and Summer Jam are teaming up to make sure this milestone is about more than just great music—it’s about saying a meaningful "thank you" to our veterans.
To celebrate our nation’s big day, they're opening the gates to the men and women who have served. Every retired and active-duty veteran is eligible for a free ticket to Country Jam and Summer Jam. This offer will launch through a partnership with GovX or Vet Tix and veterans who are interested should sign up for their newsletter and follow their socials for upcoming details.
They're also turning your ticket into a tribute. For every qualifying ticket sold*, they're donating $35 directly to the Chippewa Valley Veterans Tribute.
This money goes straight into our match campaign to help build the brand-new Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Veterans Memorials. Your weekend will last a lifetime and now your donation can help honor our veterans permanently too.
