Independent Jones, Chief Executive Officer & President, Morgan Bettes Angell, stated, “What an incredible first event to kick off the series. Bradenton and the surrounding areas definitely came out and showed their community spirit. We had so many families that had never been, it was a true community affair. We featured over 30 local small businesses, the downtown businesses, and the band was killer. Huge thank you to our sponsors. Shoutout to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Bradenton for making this all happen with us.”

City of Bradenton CRA Executive Director, Katerina Gerakios-Siren, shared “We are so excited to see the return of Main Street Live in the heart of downtown Bradenton. The support of the local businesses and community that attended our first event of the series was a sight to see and we look forward to next month’s theme and band!”
