ST. PETERSBURG – After the 110 parade participants, FAMU’s legendary Marching 100 and Tuskegee’s Marching Crimson Pipers, more than 50,000 people packed into the parking lot of Tropicana Field to enjoy the “MLK Dream Big” 2017 Family Fun Festival.

Sponsored by LA Clippers basketball superstar Marreese Speights, festivalgoers of all ages had the time of their lives on amusement park rides, playing games, enjoying live entertainment and gorging on a smorgasbord of culinary delights.
