It's a Wonderful Place to Live
The city of Bradenton is the largest city in Manatee County with a population of approximately 50,000. Located just north of Sarasota, Bradenton offers its residents and visitors a casual and relaxing lifestyle that everyone finds very appealing. Bradenton is a
fabulous place for young families, professionals and retirees to take walks or play in the sun on the beach, enjoy virtually every type of water and boat adventure and, of course, play golf on numerous golf courses. The city of Bradenton is home to some of the nicest golf courses in Florida.
But Bradenton is also so much more than that. There is a constant flow of family-focused activities that are fun and entertaining for residents and visitors of all ages. For example, during just this past week, a number of family-focused events occurred including:
- The Annual Bradenton Holiday Boat Parade
On Saturday, a flotilla of boats of all sizes decorated with festive Christmas lights, inflatable statues and Christmas trees, and boisterous crews, participated in the 14th annual Bradenton Holiday Boat Parade.
The annual boat parade began at the Bradenton Yacht Club, went up to Tarpon Pointe and then returned to the yacht club for judging. Five judges chose the winners, basing their decisions on crew spirit,
audience participation and creativity.
- A Winter Wonderland in Downtown Bradenton
It didn't snow anywhere else in Florida, but it snowed on Main Street in Bradenton, Florida this weekend.
A family-friendly street party complete with a snow mountain and Santa Claus came to Bradenton for the
16th Annual Winter Wonderland festival Saturday on Old Main Street. Children of all ages enjoyed the annual
street party known as the Bradenton Winter Wonderland.
- A Broadway Star Returns to Bradenton
One of biggest stage stars to emerge from the Bradenton - Manatee-County area will make her highly anticipated return this week.
Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe is bringing back WBTT founding company member Teresa Stanley to join the cast in its season-opening show, “Love, Sung in the Key of Aretha.”
The 29-year-old has been loved by local theatergoers since she became known to them as a precocious teen on the local theater scene.
Then, 4 years ago, Stanley realized her lifelong dream of reaching Broadway in the blockbuster musical “The Color Purple.” She has since been in the national tours of the “30th Anniversary of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and the smash “Rock of Ages,”
