BRADENTON – The warm weather is back and it's time to have some outdoor fun. Mainstreet Live! will rock a little longer tonight and the Marauders are home for seven straight beginning Friday. Sunday is your last chance for a master gardener tour at Robinson preserve. Put on your dancing shoes and grab your pruning shears. It's time for a Weekend Adventure in Bradenton!
Feel like dancing? The popular street party known as Main Street Live! is this Thursday with extended hours. Old Main Street will remain barricaded to vehicular traffic until midnight so the food trucks can stay a bit longer.
Old Main Street between Manatee and 3rd Avenue will close to vehicular traffic at 2:30 p.m. so please plan accordingly. Live music from the band Kettle of Fish starts around 6 p.m. Though the streets will be closed later, the live music will end at 10 p.m. as usual.
