FREEPORT Pretzel City celebrated its moniker Saturday as crowds gathered in downtown for a day of food, fun, shopping and entertainment.
The inaugural Pretzel Fest was also a jump start on recognizing National Pretzel Day, held Monday, and brought people together for socially distanced festivities.
The event, organized by Greater Freeport Partnership, kicked off the day with a barbecue competition in the morning with aromas to entice all residents and visitors.
It also featured performances by S&R Dance Team, La Danza de Los Viejitos - Folkloric Dance from Michoacán, Mexico, and a reenactment by Tim Connors as Benjamin Franklin. Pretzel City CrossFit supplied a community workout and burpee challenge, and Your Core Being had yoga in the street.
