Live music will come in the form of Kick Back.

The PEAK Center Tappers will return to perform in Lansdale at the Susquehanna Showcase at Susquehanna Avenue and Main Street.

"One thing I am particularly excited about: we will welcome back The PEAK Tappers," said Fuller at Wednesday's council meeting. "They are a group of women from The PEAK Center, who tap dance and have not performed publicly since the Mardi Gras Parade 2010. First Friday has invited them to a one-night-only performance at 6:30 p.m."

Also making an appearance after the PEAK Tappers: Fire Hooper Guy.

"Hula hoops on fire," said Fuller.

And, of course, the Orbitron human gyroscope and "trampoline thingy" will be back.
