KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- The 377th Air Base Wing proudly hosted Kirtland Air Force Base’s first Fall Festival on Sept. 20, 2025.
This fun-filled evening brought national recording artists Andy Grammer, 30H!3, and Bryce Vine to the stage as they performed for hundreds of military members, their families, and civilian personnel. Alongside musical entertainment, other festivities included food trucks, an Oktoberfest-style beer garden, sponsor booths, games, and a balloon glow.
Col. Justin Secrest, 377th Air Base Wing and Installation commander, gave his opening remarks and expressed his gratitude to the men and women who serve at Kirtland before he announced the winner of a guitar giveaway signed by all three performers.
“Thank you to all the members involved in putting this event together and to you, Team Kirtland, for what you do every single day,” said Secrest. ““We needed a good night of music, fun, and connecting with each other.”
Kirtland AFB partnered with the Air Force Entertainment Production LIVE STAGE and was one of six bases participating in Fall Fest. For the service members attending, this event provided more than just a night of fun. It was a chance to connect with others outside of work, allowing Airmen and families to relax and recharge. This free concert marked the beginning of a new season, building connections and fostering community amongst Airmen, families, and their civilian counterparts
"Our jobs are serious, but it’s nice to get an opportunity to get out and connect, reenergize ourselves, and celebrate the things we do,” Secrest added.
Air Force Entertainment LIVE STAGE is the official Department of War provider of entertainment to the military community providing quality events featuring music, theater, and commercial entertainment.
