Thanksgiving is always the start of the holiday events, but on Saturday, December 14th, Bradenton will become a winter wonderland. From 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Old Main Street will transform into a winter scene, Florida-style. The kids can meet Santa and enjoy other photo opportunities. Many local youth groups will perform live on the main stage, and there will be some fun songs to sing along to.

And we can’t forget to mention that we will experience snow at the celebration and it’s one you can’t miss.

Beyond the holiday events along the island, there are plenty of festive activities to enjoy. We recommend a sunset cruise with the family if you want something different. Another great option is to spend the day at the beach with a festive picnic featuring holiday-themed lunches and snacks for the whole family.  For those families who love the open waters, then try your hand at kayaking or paddleboarding to enjoy the local mangrove tunnels. What a great way to stay active and still enjoy the peaceful waters of the Gulf of Mexico this holiday season.
