Folks waited for the chance to listen to the 2006 American Idol winner and other performers.

The event also featured food, games, an inflatable slide for the kids and other entertainment. Even SpongeBob SquarePants made an appearance, coming all the way from Bikini Bottom to enjoy the Fourth of July festivities as many people looked forward to the fireworks show after the concert.
