Pies, Games, Music and Memories at the Great American Block Party

More than 1,500 people celebrated Independence Day during the Great American Block Party in Lake Nona Town Center. Party goers worked up an appetite with carnival games, and an estimated 900 Sno cones were served during the festivities.

DJ Chuck Johnson played family favorites for the crowd while a bubble machine blew bubbles throughout the dance area.
