Manatee Chamber’s Fall Expo Showcases Local Business & Community Spirit
Thursday, November 13 • 4:00 – 7:00 PM • LECOM Park
The Manatee Chamber of Commerce invites the community to celebrate local business at its annual Fall Expo, happening Thursday, November 13 from 4:00 – 7:00 PM at LECOM Park (1611 9th St W, Bradenton, FL 34205). This outdoor event is open to the public, with free parking available.
The Fall Expo is one of the Chamber’s most popular networking events, drawing nearly 100 local exhibitors and hundreds of attendees for an evening of connection, discovery, and celebration. Guests will enjoy complimentary light bites from Chamber member restaurants, live entertainment, door prizes, and an exciting grand prize valued at $1,250: a Mayor’s Suite at a 2026 Bradenton Marauders game for up to 25 guests, including food and beverages.
Tickets are $5 for Chamber members when pre-purchased online and $10 for the general public and day-of attendees.
The Chamber also offers sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities designed to give businesses maximum visibility. Exhibitors can showcase their products and services to hundreds of attendees, while sponsors receive enhanced recognition leading up to and during the event.
“When you shop and do business locally, you’re not just making a purchase, you’re making an investment in our community,” said Kim Dalglish, Vice President of Membership. “Every dollar spent with local businesses helps create jobs, supports local families, and keeps resources circulating right here in Manatee County. The Manatee Chamber’s Fall Expo is a powerful reminder that choosing local first strengthens the businesses that make our community thrive.”
