Holidays are the perfect time for family gatherings and tons of fun and freedom for the children. This event gave kids, age 13 and under, the opportunity to create their own Fourth of July celebration with a colorful array of games and activities designed to educate and entertain.

There was a special appearance by Radio Disney cast members at the AM640 Radio Disney Tent where kids could win lots of prizes. Other activities included face painting, strolling puppeteers, and the chance to dress up as police officers, firefighters, doctors, and other professionals.

Naturally, there was plenty of food including mountains of ice cream.
