I am pleased to share that the 2026 Springfield Bridge Walk will be on Saturday, August 22. Members of the Franconia-Springfield community will once again march over Veterans Bridge to commemorate the renewal of the United States Army’s Community Covenant. The covenant is an affirmation of support by state and local communities comprised of active, guard, and reservist service members and their families.

Following the march, a community celebration will take place at American Legion Post 176. The celebration will feature entertainment, refreshments, participation from community groups and local businesses, and much more.
