Gavin Johnson from Queens, New York says he'd have to agree.
"I like it, I like it, the people, everyone's dressed nice. It's a good look for the city and if they do it again I'm definitely coming out here," said Johnson.
There has been talk of making it an annual event.
"They should, they should. I like to see, black, white, all walks of life here and everyone mingling," said Johnson.
As for people from the area, Lindsay Klinger from Media, Pa. said "I think it's a great event for the city, I think as long as money's being fed into the city so we can fix those potholes, and are able to put more trashcans on the street so people are able to put their trash in them."
