I Rocked Patriotic Fest with Grunt Style: Three Days of High Fives, Hero Tributes, and Unmatched American Pride

When you head to Patriotic Fest with Grunt Style, you know you’re in for a blast. This year’s Grunt Style Patriotic Fest was the biggest and best yet.

Three days in Norfolk, Virginia, over Memorial Day weekend – what could be more patriotic? Norfolk holds a special place for Grunt Style due to its proximity to several military bases in Southern Virginia. The lineup was stellar, featuring Nate Smith, Bailey Zimmerman, HARDY, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, and the Zac Brown Band. The crowd’s excitement was tangible as we celebrated and remembered the fallen heroes who didn’t make it back home.

We all know and love Grunt Style for their patriotic and military-inspired gear, along with their commitment to giving back to veterans and their families via the Grunt Style Foundation. It’s an apparel brand that’s so much more than a logo, truly embracing the Forward With Purpose ethos.

This year, I went all out with my Grunt Style apparel, including the Whiskey Bourbon 2024 campaign t-shirt. It’s the ultimate icebreaker. High fives were flying left and right – it’s the ultimate “hell yea, brother” shirt, where people instantly know you fit their vibe in life. I also sported my new Grunt Style road trip shirt, featured below, showcasing some of the most iconic places in the USA. Perfect for summer vibes, barbecues, or any weekend outing during this glorious season.

Grunt Style brought the pre-show party with BKFC, Irreverent Warriors, and stage for tunes to get the crowd amped up on the way into Norfolk’s Scope Arena for the festivities. Inside, the party was epic. And, of course, Grunt Style kept the after-party going until the wee hours with a shindig at PBR for the after party.

Grunt Style Patriotic Fest isn’t just another music festival; it embodies the spirit of our fallen heroes. It’s about showing support for servicemembers, first responders, and warriors. It’s celebratory yet respectful and reverent – unabashedly patriotic in all the right ways.

Grunt Style took the stage with its ambassadors, including Nate Freihofer and Kagan and Reilly Dunlap t-shirt cannons for three nights straight, leading the crowd in a four-toast salute – a core part of the Grunt Style brand. The four-toast salute honors those who serve and those who never made it back. Sure, Grunt Style is America’s top patriotic apparel company, but it’s moments like these that make it more than just a clothing brand.

Every Friday before heading home, the team raises a toast to honor the military in four parts:

To those who served: “We honor those who came before us and those who shared unknown battlefields with us.”
To those who supported us while we served: “No one survives a battlefield without a home to return to and a nation that honors them.”
To those who continue to carry the torch of freedom: “We honor our heroes out in the freezing rain in the darkest corners of the world in defense of our nation.”
To those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and never made it home: “We honor them and bear the weight of their sacrifice. The responsibility of safeguarding freedom for generations yet to come.”

Time-honored traditions like these keep us grounded and remind us of the sacrifices made and hardships endured by our military veterans. As one person put it, “it’s not ‘enjoy the long weekend,’ it’s thank you for everything.”

Something to keep in mind next time you crack open that first beer after work on a Friday.

The crowd was stoked; beers were toasted, fist-pounds were given, hootin’ and hollering happened. It was impossible not to have a good time unless you’re a fuddyduddy who hates freedom (and fun).

So here’s to another successful Grunt Style Patriotic Fest – bigger than ever and a powerful reminder of what truly matters beyond just a big summer weekend.
