Announcing Bradenton's Best for 2022

Welcome! We are thrilled to bring you Bradenton’s Best. This magazine showcases the effort to discover and celebrate the businesses, people, and places the community loves most—as voted by you.

Our readers and residents are proud of the communities they live in and know the area the best. That is why the Bradenton Herald set out to deliver a “best of” program to help the community and support Manatee and Sarasota county businesses.

The Bradenton Herald, throughout the years, has mirrored its community’s growth–from the tiny agricultural-and-fishing town of Bradentown to today’s bustling, high-growth metropolitan area, and sought-after tourist destination. With over 330,000 people calling the area home, Bradenton is among the fastest-growing areas in the United States. In keeping up with this vibrant growth, the Bradenton Herald and Bradenton.com have committed to expansive, comprehensive 24-7 news coverage of everything impacting the community, its residents, businesses, environment, and leaders. The company’s employees pride themselves on being immersed in the community, sponsoring hundreds of civic events every year.

Bradenton’s Best has been a great extension of these goals, and we are proud of local businesses' voter turnout and engagement.

Bradenton’s Best had over 1,800 businesses, organizations, and individuals competing to be named in the top three spots of 228 categories.

During our voting, more than 110,000 votes were cast. It was a fantastic response in our first year and a testament to how customers, fans, and friends feel about their favorite local businesses and the pride they have for Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated local team and committed businesses. They, along with all our advertisers made this possible.

We could not be prouder to salute and pay tribute to the great businesses that were voted the best in their individual categories. Thank you to all the folks who took the time to vote. We encourage you to explore BradentonsBest.com and engage with our winners. Some may be familiar, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business. Please make sure to congratulate them for being voted Bradenton’s Best!
