It may only be the second year Praise in the Park has come to Plant City, but the public has proved it’s heavily desired.
This year Praise in the Park partnered with On Common Ground to transform the entertainment-themed night into a worship one-stop shop. Every type of worship ranging from dance to rock to contemporary music was performed throughout the evening. The event, which ran from 3 to 9 p.m., drew more than 20 performers to the heart of downtown and the crowds spread out to check out their preferred entertainers.
“Our opening is more than double what it was last year spread over two blocks of Drane Street,” Frank Trunzo, owner of Krazy Kup and creator of Praise in the Park, said.
Vendors lined the two blocks of the event and families camped out in folding chairs to enjoy the local singers. There were performers at the depot, at the gazebo, the end of McCall Park and inside Trunzo’s upcoming performance pizzeria.
The event also raised money for the Pregnancy Care Center of Plant City.
