((SCRANTON, Lackawanna County) - There was a pretty big Fourth of July celebration in Scranton, that you didn't have to pay a penny to participate in.

It's become an annual event, on the city's west side. . Members of the Steamtown Church in Scranton transformed Fellows Park on the west side into a free Fourth of July bash.

Kahseem Crook told Eyewitness News, "pretty awesome. I ain't never been able to go to a park where it's free to get in." Dozens packed in to the park, including Crook and his friends. They're taking turns at a rope toss. Crook added, "I think this is going to be the best one I ever had."

The event featured lots of free games, face painting and food for everyone. Mark Davis is with the Steamtown Church, "Lots of burgers, hot dogs and sausages. Wonderful, it's good to be here.))" Church Leaders like Pastor Peter Fox say they budgeted for the bash, so you wouldn't have too.

Pastor Peter Fox told WBRE, "Maybe for some people who couldn't afford to do their own picnic or don’t have anything planned. They can come down and enjoy all the things organized here for them." Hyde Park provided the music that had people dancing and swinging around, like Autumn Strother and her daughter Katrina.

Strother told Eyewitness News, "It's good and it was close, so we didn't have to drive too far and meeting some friends here, so it's a nice celebration."

This is the second annual Fourth of July picnic at Fellows Park, hosted by the Steamtown Church.
