MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) - An annual tradition in a small local community continued on Saturday. 

More than 100 people gathered at Eugene Lamb Junior Park for Midway Day. 

People throughout Saturday morning and early afternoon came and enjoyed food, a live DJ, and even athletic training as a part of the 31st Annual Midway Day.

This years theme "Let's Move Midway."  

President of the Midway Day Committee, Charlie Fields, explained the importance of having a day for the community to come together and be active.  

"This year we decided to go with a different theme of "Lets move Midway" and that is more so just getting our residents just healthy, get them the information about health information, getting theme to know their health status also, because we do have vendors on site that are doing health screenings such as Sickle Cell as well as HIV," said Fields. 

Midway Day happens every year on the Saturday before Labor Day.
