About the Bradenton Public Market
The Bradenton Public Market, produced by Realize Bradenton, is a family-friendly destination that brings together local growers, artisans, musicians, and community organizations every Saturday from October through May. It’s a vibrant celebration of local culture- and now, a chance to connect with the Hernando de Soto Historical Society.
Stephanie Souza, partner of one of our members, adds: “It’s amazing to see how much the Society gives back to the community every year. The market is such a fun way for people to meet the faces behind De Soto, ask questions, and see how to get involved.”
We hope you’ll stop by our table on the second Saturday of the month and join us in celebrating, supporting, and sharing the rich story of Hernando de Soto.
