Indian River County
Pioneer Family Recognition Dinner
For more than two decades, Vero Heritage has had the privilege of celebrating the people and families whose vision, hard work, and commitment helped shape Indian River County. This year, we are proud to continue that tradition with the 21st Annual Indian River County Pioneer Family Dinner, honoring the Haffield Family as our 2026 Pioneer Family.
The Pioneer Family Dinner will be held on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at The Heritage Center. This special evening will bring together family, friends, community leaders, and supporters of local history to celebrate the Haffield family's legacy and recognize their place in the story of Indian River County.
This event will be held indoors and is limited to 200 guests.
We invite you to join us in making this year's celebration possible by becoming an event sponsor. Your sponsorship not only helps Vero Heritage present this important community tradition, but also supports our ongoing work to preserve The Heritage Center, operate the Indian River Citrus Museum, and provide programs that celebrate and share the unique history and cultural heritage of our community.
