The charity walk was a new element at the festival, but is expected to become an annual event.
The walk raised money to benefit hospice patients and families, with suggested donations of $10 for adult walkers and $5 for kids.
The walk took place around the lake, shortly before the fireworks display at sunset.
“We are honored to be invited to take part in the festivities at SummerFest, and I think the Old-Fashioned Patriotic Stroll will be a nice addition to the family friendly atmosphere,” Linda Ward, president and chief executive officer of Gulfside Hospice & Pasco Palliative Care, said in a news release.
SummerFest, a free event, took place from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Zephyr Park, 38116 Fifth Ave., in Zephyrhills.
Other activities at SummerFest included dance and watermelon-eating contests, food vendors, bounce houses, family games and a crafter area.
