Fort Drum Special Events

DRUM_Special Events.jpg Fort Drum Family and MWR hosts several annual events throughout the year for our Soldiers, their Families, and the Fort Drum community. We hope to see you there!

BOSS Mountain Mudder – June Do you have what it takes? The Mountain Mudder event is a hardcore obstacle course to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie.

Riverfest, Alexandria Bay – June Family and MWR and AUSA offer a day on the river in Alexandria Bay to Fort Drum Soldiers and Families at this annual event. Take a riverboat tour of the Thousand Islands with a stop at Heart Island for a tour of Boldt Castle.

“Salute to the Nation” Mountainfest – June This yearly event is free and open to the public and features military equipment displays, children’s games, bounce houses, food and beverage concessions, Salute To The Nation, and a free concert with nationally-recognized talent, all topped off with a fireworks display.

Color the Mountain Fun Run – July You won't want to miss this annual fun run that sends walkers and runners through color bombs and bursts.

Mountain Monster Mash – October Prepare to be spooked at this ghostly night of fun at Magrath Sports Complex. Our annual Halloween event is open to our military Families who seek ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and witches. Enjoy games, pumpkin decorating, bounce houses, entertainment and attractions, and the haunted house, if you dare!

Annual Tree & Menorah Lighting and Holiday Party – December To kick off the holiday season, military Families are invited to The Commons in early December to enjoy Fort Drum’s Annual Tree and Menorah Lighting and Holiday Party. These are some of the most highly attended special events presented to the Fort Drum Community.
