A somber weight hangs over this year’s AmericaFest, Turning Point USA’s inaugural conference, as it unfolds this weekend.
The event, running from Thursday through Sunday, is deeply intertwined with remembrance. It marks the organization’s first gathering since the tragic loss of its co-founder, Charlie Kirk, in September.
Scheduled to speak on Thursday evening at 9:15 p.m., Tucker Carlson joins a lineup carefully curated to honor Kirk’s legacy. The conference aims to be a “powerful celebration of faith, freedom, and the memory of its founder.”
The opening day will feature poignant addresses from Erika Kirk, now leading the organization as CEO, alongside prominent conservative voices like Ben Shapiro. Their presence underscores the event’s commitment to continuing the work Kirk championed.
AmericaFest promises to be more than just a conference; it’s a gathering born from grief and fueled by a determination to uphold the principles Kirk dedicated his life to.
