Residents and visitors of Lakewood Ranch meandered through Lakewood Ranch Main Street Friday for Music on Main.

People got bites at booths from local restaurants, played games and listened to live music. Dog owners brought their dogs; however, a mini potbelly pig attended the festivities as a part of the Southwest Florida Therapy Animals.

During the live music, Errika Magra and her husband, Placido, were excited to get to dance salsa. Magra said they try to get out to the event when they have time.

"We enjoy the atmosphere," she said.

Music on Main is held the first Friday of each month.
