CLARKSVILLE, TN – MilSpouseFest (MSF) is bringing a high-energy day of connection, resources and celebration to Fort Campbell on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at Valor Hall.
The nationally recognized event series is designed specifically for active-duty, Reserve, Guard, and veteran spouses, offering direct access to trusted resources, professional networking, candid mental health conversations, and community-building opportunities.
The daytime experience begins at 9 a.m. and features a vibrant resource marketplace, giveaways, and engaging main-stage programming, including welcome remarks from Garrison Commander Col. James Snowden, a special video message from Gov. Andy Beshear and a fireside chat featuring Dr. John Jackson, Deputy Chief of Staff for VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
“MilSpouseFest is about more than resources. It’s about building belonging,” said Jessica Manfre, Director of MilSpouseFest, Coast Guard spouse, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. “As a military spouse, I understand how demanding this lifestyle can be. We build each MilSpouseFest to bring real and candid conversations about mental wellness, professional growth, and community support directly to spouses where they live and serve. Fort Campbell has an extraordinary military community and we are honored to invest in and celebrate them.”
The afternoon includes discussions on current military family topics and a hands-on service project with the Inspire Up Foundation for the Nashville Veterans Medical Center.
While the daytime event is exclusively for military spouses, the celebration expands in the evening. Beginning at 5 p.m., the MSF After Hours Reception opens to service members and veterans, creating an opportunity for the broader military community to connect. The reception will include music, sponsor remarks from USAA, raffle prizes, and a live concert from country singer and Green Beret spouse Jessie G.
MilSpouseFest events are held nationwide and are dedicated to strengthening military families through empowerment, mental health awareness, and meaningful connection. Local and national media are invited to attend and cover this community-focused event. For more details, visit MilSpouseFest.com.
