Currahee Military Weekend

 

 

Toccoa invites all paratroopers who trained at Camp Toccoa and Currahee Mountain to come to the Currahee Military Weekend every year in October. We hope that the paratroopers who trained at Camp Toccoa / Currahee Mountain will take the time to visit Toccoa, reminisce about their training experiences and visit with their buddies who shared this very significant time in their lives.

In addition, an invitation is extended to families, friends, Vietnam and present day Currahee’s, re-enactors and all admirers to join these very special men for this memorable occasion.

A number of activities are planned each year for the weekend, including opportunities for visiting Camp Toccoa and Currahee Mountain (the birthplace of The Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan and The Dirty Dozen), a World War II Re-enactment, Currahee Challenge Road Race (3 miles up and 3 miles down), World War II military vehicle and memorabilia displays, Ranger demonstrations, book signings and lots of other fun and educational events. The brand-new Currahee Military Museum is always open for your enjoyment with an incredible collection of World War II and other military memorabilia.
