Children can also meet Santa and Mrs. Claus for a professional holiday photo, jump on inflatables, paint their faces, create holiday crafts, and visit animals in the petting area. Christmas carolers will provide a festive soundtrack throughout the evening.
Parents can explore the “Shop Local” Vendor Marketplace to find unique holiday gifts, while various food and dessert trucks will offer seasonal treats and refreshments.
The event, made possible by the support of Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Sarasota and sponsors including Five Star Pizza - Bradenton, Legler, Murphy & Battaglia, and Richard's Plumbing, promises to deliver an unforgettable evening for families.
With activities for kids, shopping for parents, and plenty of festive cheer, A Night Before Christmas is a must-attend event to kick off the holiday season in Bradenton.
