Happy holidays! Get in the holiday spirit with these fun holiday happenings in the local area.
- THE LIGHTS IN DOWNTOWN BRADENTON. Along the water in downtown, near the Central Library and Pier 22, the city displays a series of Christmas lights, including Santa, elves, and other holiday symbols. Grab your friends or family and enjoy a stroll along Riverwalk while you admire the lights.
- HOLIDAY BOAT PARADES. What could be more fun than watching boats decked out for the holidays? Manatee County, Sarasota, and Venice are among the areas that have annual holiday boat parades. Check out your local listings to find out the dates of your local boat parades, and be sure to arrive early for good viewing.
