Welcome to Bradenton's Best

Bradenton is a unique place. We live, shop, eat, and play in Florida’s beautiful Manatee County and we wouldn’t have it any other way. In celebration of our great communities, Bradenton Herald presents Bradenton’s Best.

Last year, we had over 1,800 businesses, organizations, and individuals competing to be named in the top three spots of 228 categories. We received 110,000 votes from 47,187 unique voters! This contest is truly designed to engage the community in celebrating the places, restaurants, and local businesses we love.
