MILEX
The MAC remains intent on reconnecting the community with our local military service men and women. We hosted more than 5,000 attendees in 2024 and intend to increase this attendance in the Fall of 2025.
Our vision is to increase awareness of the missions of all service branches in the Greater Pittsburgh area and neighboring communities in Southwest Pennsylvania, as well as our neighbors in Ohio and West Virginia. This increased awareness will assist in military service recruiting and retention.
"We believe bringing units and community residents together in this manner will increase young Americans' attraction to join the military, whether on active duty or in the Reserve/National Guard," said MAC Chairman Chuck Sargent. "These proud patriots who serve and sacrifice for our Country deserve our sincere thanks and deep appreciation."
At the event, we will include displays from all service branches, including military land and sea vehicles, various military aircraft, and other displays.
Visitors will be able to see close-up and touch an impressive display of current military equipment, with personnel from all branches of service available for live demonstrations and to discuss how the equipment is used in today’s military operations while sharing firsthand experiences.
This is a free event for the whole family. No need to bring food or drink. Food vendors, along with other vendors will be available on site.
Signs for no-cost parking areas will be visible along the routes near the event. Free transportation for those needing special assistance will be available to and from the parking areas.
More up-to-date information about the event will be available on Facebook, LinkedIn, Nextdoor, and Instagram.
For security measures, all bags will be checked at the entranceway.
