TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – The 60th Air Mobility Wing chapel will host the second annual Harvest Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 26, 2019, at the First Street Chapel parking lot.
“We want to help Airmen enjoy their time here at Travis and morale events like these can really help make a difference in someone’s perspective, especially if they can meet new people and make new friends,” said Capt. Johann Choi, 60th Air Mobility Wing chaplain.
Attendees from last year are looking forward to what this year’s festival has to offer, especially the Battle of the Bands.
“I’m so excited for this year’s Harvest Festival,” said Airman 1st Class Natalie Heredia, 60th Operations Support Squadron aviation resource manager. “I can’t wait to see fellow Airmen perform with their groups on stage, showing everyone what they can do.”
This will be Travis Air Force Bases first ever Battle of the Bands event where multiple bands will compete for the grand prize.
“There will be five bands made up of members from the Travis community participate in this showdown,” said Choi. Active duty Airmen won’t be the only ones signed up. There will also be contractors and veterans who put their own bands together to compete in this competition.”
Along with the Battle of the Bands, another large attraction will be a tribute to Filipino Heritage Month.
“For Filipino Heritage Month, we set up a pavilion tent filled with Filipino artifacts from World War II,” said Robert Asercion, 60th AMW chaplain. “We will give tours to groups of about 12 people at a time throughout the festival. At the end of the tour, there will be samples of authentic Filipino foods the guests get to taste.”
In addition to the main attractions, there will be other activities for guests to enjoy during their visit.
“The festival will have carnival games, bouncy houses, a petting zoo, an arcade and church groups will be bringing their own activities and treats to the festival,” said Choi.
Hotdogs and hamburgers will be available at the festival for guests, free of charge.
Parking will be in the gym parking lot, off Travis Avenue.
