Celebration Celebrates 4th of July in Style – 50’s Style

In Celebration FL Events   Add A Comment

It’s time for a trip down memory lane this July 4, as Celebration, Florida, brings you back to a time when Elvis was King, when hairspray was still a fad, and rock-n-roll was still new to the airwaves. The Celebration Town Center celebrates 4th of July, 50’s style, with an event titled ‘A Flashback 4th of July-An All-American Sock Hop’. The celebration kicks off at 5:30 in the afternoon, with a special 50’s-themed fireworks display taking place later at 9:30 in the evening.

‘Flashback’ will also feature a costume contest at 7:30 in the evening, where participants can dress in 50’s fashion, complete with leather jackets, poodle skirts, and many more. Dress to impress, and you just might win a prize.

At 6 in the evening, a special concert featuring popular tribute artists will be rocking the house, playing hits from Roy Orbison, Ritchie Valens, and legends of Motown. And if that’s not enough to make you wax nostalgic (if you’re old enough to remember that is), a fireworks show synchronized with 50’s love songs will also take place at around the same time.

Mark your calendars and get your wardrobe ready for a memorable celebration here in Celebration!

Great American Pie Festival Returns Once More to Celebration

The Great American Pie Festival made a successful comeback to Celebration, Florida, this year, and it looks like everyone had their fair share of treats such as chocolate custard, sweet potato, berries & nuts, and of course, the official treat of the day, pie. The 2-day event undoubtedly reaffirmed Celebration’s status as the pie capital of the world.

Hands down, the highlight of the event was the Never Ending Pie Buffet, a huge collection of pie slices coming from local, as well as regional and national bakeries, restaurants, and other food distributors. Helping to top things off was Publix and the The J.M Smucker Company, who provided loads of ice cream that allowed everyone to create their own unique pie slices.

Other great moments came from the numerous pie-eating contests and demonstrations organized by bakers and pie-lovers from Celebration and the rest of Orlando. Kids and their parents definitely had a blast at the pie creation station by Crisco, where they could actually “style” their own pies accordign to taste.

Those who take the art of baking more seriously were also treated to a baking competition where bakers from all over the country came together to come up with the best pies imaginable.

Indeed, the 2010 Great American Pie Festival was a spectacular event not just for pie-lovers, but for the whole family.
