Due to the historic flooding caused by Hurricane Helene, which has deeply affected our neighbors, friends, and families, we will be postponing the Main Street Putt-Putt event originally scheduled for this weekend (9/28) until further notice. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by this disaster, and we stand in solidarity with our community during this challenging time. We look forward to coming together for the event when the time is right.
Since 1939, our membership includes many civic, governmental, and business leaders that serve in a variety of community-oriented roles. Our organization produces some of the largest entertainment events in Manatee County including the De Soto Ball, and the largest nighttime parade in the Southeastern United States, the De Soto Grand Parade.
Our fundraising efforts finacially support our sister organization, the Conquistador Historical Foundation, which annually donates to community charities, provides educational programs, sponsors a student exchange program with Barcarrota, Spain, Bradenton’s sister city, and funds scholarships to local students.
