Nearby restaurants offer food and drink specials for the event, which typically starts at 6 p.m. The parade usually takes place at the beginning of December, with this year’s parade scheduled for December 3rd, 2022. If you’re visiting during this time, this unique Christmas event is not to be missed!
Visit a Local Farmers Market on AMI
We have several farmers markets on the island, and it’s the ideal weather for experiencing them, especially compared to the heat of earlier months! In Bradenton Beach you can find the Bridge Street Market, which operates from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday from November to April. Down a bit further south, you can browse the Coquina Beach Market, which takes place on Sundays and Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each market features an array of local vendors selling fresh produce and handcrafted goods such as art, jewelry, and home goods. Pick up the missing ingredient for your special Christmas dish and grab a bite to eat for lunch as you walk through the market. It’s a great way to get a taste of the local life around the holidays!
Enjoy an Outdoor Movie for Christmas on Bridge Street
This event is an ideal outing if you’re visiting before Christmas, as it usually takes place the week before the holiday. Before the screening of the movie, you can watch the Crowsley Carolers preform in Christmas costumes, and kids can make crafts while they enjoy the show. The movies are family friendly, such as this year’s movie, Home Sweet Home Alone. This year’s Christmas on Bridge Street takes place on December 17th, 2022 from 3:00 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Dine Oceanside for Your Christmas Vacation Meals
Take advantage of the mild temperatures and dine oceanside for the requisite Christmas Eve dinner before preparing your own holiday meal. We have several restaurants with spectacular ocean views, such as The Sandbar Restaurant where you can dine right near the sand and snack on casual dishes with a gourmet twist. Or dine right on the water at Rod and Reel Pier, admiring the scenery of Tampa Bay. Another great idea is to pre-order your Christmas meal from a local grocery store or restaurant—Anna Maria Island Beach Café offers pre-orders for takeaway, and you can heat them up back home in your vacation rental!
