Rocking Out To Save Lives.

Odyssey Fest was born out of a deeply personal mission — to break the silence around mental health struggles faced by veterans and first responders, and to build a space where healing, community, and hope can take root.

Founded in 2019 by Marine Corps combat veteran Tobias Williamson, the festival began as a one-day concert featuring local bands, created to raise awareness for mental health resources actively supporting those who’ve served. But Odyssey Fest is more than just music. It’s a gathering of people who understand what it means to walk through darkness, to feel isolated, and to search for light.

The event brings together veterans, first responders, their families, and allies to share stories of loss, resilience, and growth. It’s a place where community partners connect people to real, local support services. A place where joy and struggle can exist side by side, and where the simple act of showing up helps fan each other’s flames.

Odyssey Fest is returning in 2025, reignited by Tobias’s renewed sense of purpose and the belief that no one should have to fight their battles alone. With the support of a passionate team and community, the mission continues: to promote health, happiness, and connection — one note, one story, and one day at a time.
