BRADENTON, Fla. | Manatee Pride returned for its seventh celebration March 5 at the Bradenton Riverwalk, marking the first time the event benefited new presenter ALSO Youth.
ALSO Youth has worked to create inclusive communities in and around Sarasota for 30 years. Their merger with Manatee Pride’s former beneficiary allowed the organization to reach more youth than ever before by expanding into Manatee County, where it now offers a variety of inclusive programming.
Festivities were held 12-5 p.m. along the waterfront and hosted by fan favorite entertainer Beneva Fruitville. She guided attendees through a full day of entertainment, which included performances from Rockell Blu, Alexis De La Mer and Evonka Rump, Moxy Stardust, DJ Brianna, The Players Center and more.
Watermark, a proud sponsor of the event, helped celebrate Manatee Pride’s return. View our photos below.
