        Bradenton is home to the Village of the Arts, a renovated neighborhood immediately south of downtown where special zoning laws allow residents to live and work in their homes. Many of these once dilapidated houses have been converted into studios, galleries, small restaurants and other small businesses. The Village of the Arts promotes its 'First Fridays' activities celebrating the seasons and different holidays. The Village of the Arts remains the largest arts district on the Gulf Coast.

        The Manatee Players, who reside at the Manatee Performing Arts Center, have a three-year record of first-place wins within the Florida Theatre Conference and the Southeastern Theatre Conference competitions. In addition, the theatre currently holds the first place title from the American Association of Community Theatre competition.

        Located on the Manatee River in downtown Bradenton is the South Florida Museum, Bishop Planetarium and Parker Manatee Aquarium. This one-stop museum-planetarium-aquarium offers a glimpse of Florida history, a star and multimedia show, and ongoing lecture and film series. The Parker Manatee Aquarium is the permanent home to Manatee County's most famous resident and official mascot, Snooty, the manatee. Born at the Miami Aquarium and Tackle Company on July 21, 1948, Snooty was one of the first recorded captive manatee births. He is the oldest manatee in captivity, and likely the oldest manatee in the world.[12]

        ArtCenter Manatee is the center for art and art education in Manatee County. The nearly 10,000 sq ft (930 m2). building in downtown Bradenton features three galleries, five classrooms, an Artists’ Market gift shop and an art library featuring over 3,000 art volumes.

        The nonprofit organization Realize Bradenton works with the above-listed cultural partners to promote Downtown Bradenton as a destination for the arts. It also produces events in the downtown area with a focus on arts & culture like the annual Bradenton Blues Festival, ArtSlam public art festival as well as several smaller public art and music events throughout the year.[13]

        Additionally, the town is the subject of the We The Kings song "This Is Our Town"; they, as well as the band Have Gun, Will Travel (band) come from Bradenton.

            Avoid any tournament run by Soccer Skills Unlimited. They are poorly organized and tournament director plays favourites to clubs and coaches.

              We go to his events all year and think they are the best organized tournaments. Don't go if you don't like them

                    When you are successful...people tend to hate and be jealous. He has almost 20 tournaments and keeps going..must be doing something right.

                      Don't be fooled by the ad for the Sarasota Cup, it says you will play on plush fields, oh my is that a lie. We played in the U15 girls bracket last year, the field (they only had one field) were awful, pretty much dirt with paint. There was a Moose or Elks club in front of the club, the Moose were having a music concert, so there was no parking, you couldn't talk because the music was so loud. They had a port-a-pot that was backing up, so you had to walk about a half mile to the baseball fields and park to use the rest rooms, the rest rooms had homeless people living in them. It was an awful tournament, the worst that we have ever been involved with, so don't fall for the promotional literature of the Sarasota Cup.

                          topic is why choose Bradenton Cup over Sarasota Cup since they are on the same weekend. Person above makes a valid point, it the Sarasota Cup misrepresents their tourny then the Bradenton Cup might be a better option. Personally, I think they will split the older age groups between each other and both will be lucky to have enough team to form a bracket.

                            Completely agree. We were in a tournament run by Soccer Skills Unlimited last year and the rules/scoring was changed on Saturday night after a coach from another team cried to the Director. We will never participate in one of his tournaments again.
