De Soto Heritage Festival Grand Parade & After Parade Party sponsored by Americom

The Grand Parade steps off at 6:30 P.M. Ranked as one of the largest and most prestigious parades in the South, the dazzling and exciting De Soto Heritage Festival Grand Parade is truly a sight to behold for all ages. Over 150 illuminated parade entries light up the night with color, music and fanfare like you've never witnessed before!

Starting at Manatee High School, the parade route goes west on Ninth Avenue, north along 39th Street West to Manatee Avenue and then turns east toward Downtown Bradenton to Ninth Street West. Make sure your family and friends don't miss the De Soto Heritage Festival grand finale, "The Hero In My Life!" The After Parade Party following the parade is open for all adults at the Bradenton Municipal Audiotorium.

Tickets are $25 pre-purchase and $30 at the door. Join us for live music by the Dr. Dave Band, good food and an open bar. Tickets are limited
