BRADENTON
OLD MAIN STREET

On Saturday, Don Hernando de Soto and his Crewe will journey from Barcarrota Boulevard up Main Street to meet the Mayor. 

When they arrive, the Mayor will gladly give the “Key to the City” to these Conquistadors in exchange for fun and entertainment they’ll be providing during the following week.

Whether you’re young or young-at-heart, you won’t want to miss this exhilarating day on the streets of downtown Bradenton. Come out and join in on the fun as the Conquistadors and the Queen’s Court throw beads to all the onlookers.

This is a FREE, family friendly event. Youth will receive foam swords to defend the Mayor and the City.
