Reconnect | Reimagine
Rediscover | Redevelop
Through Love This City Bradenton, Realize Bradenton will provide opportunities for the community to rediscover and reimagine Downtown Bradenton. By promoting these actions, we hope to increase awareness for local businesses and cultural assets, encourage entrepreneurs to start new businesses, and promote economic growth in Downtown Bradenton.
Rediscover the Friendly City with the Hunt Bradenton scavenger hunts. These family-friendly, outdoor activities are self-directed and each includes a unique Love This City prize. Complete all three Hunts to win a grand prize!
Scavenger Hunts and prize will be available through May 21, 2022. Complete instructions are included on the links below.
