The City of St. Cloud held its annual wonderful celebration at the lakefront Tuesday night. With live music from local musicians and fun games for children to play, the community gathered in advance for the annual firework show.

Vendors such as Encore Dance Studio, Nix Apothecary, Wholesome Keto Treats, and more lined one side of the event with a range of performances of songs from Michael Jackson and Earth, Wind, and Fire, along with renditions of classic American songs from local artists in the center. Next to them, the city hosted a car show open to everyone.

Attendees were also able to try an array of options from local food trucks such as Krush Brau Park, Los Pinchos Tacos, and Kona Ice, that provided members of the community with a wide range of meals from ice cream to tacos. The Chamber of St. Cloud with Levee Liquor provided different beers for the community to try.

After a bit of rain, at around 9 p.m. the event wrapped up with an iconic fireworks show in celebration of Independence Day.
