Discover Bradenton Launches First-Ever “Business Crawl” in Downtown Bradenton

Discover Bradenton is giving traditional networking a fun, local twist with the first-ever Discover Bradenton Business Crawl, happening Wednesday, November 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. in downtown Bradenton.

The progressive-style networking event will take participants on a tour through some of the city’s favorite local businesses, offering a chance to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the community that makes Bradenton unique.

Participants will check in at Orange Blossom Coffee before making their way through a series of featured locations, including Left Coast Sol, Pink & Navy Boutique, and Suellen’s Studio. Along the way, guests can meet local vendors, enjoy refreshments, and earn raffle entries at each stop. Additional crawl stops include Paddywagon Irish Pub, Jaxx Wing Co., Pour Decisions Saloon, and Cork’s Cigar Bar.

The evening will also feature a variety of vendors and partners, including Witchgrass Studio, Liquid Ambition, Sugaring NYC, Prime IV Hydration, and Cogent Bank.

Guests will enjoy lite bites from Chicken Salad Chick, who will host a Community Drop during the event. The public can pre-order “Quick Chick” containers of the restaurant’s signature chicken salads in advance and pick them up at the crawl. Orders can be placed online at parrishchickensaladchick.fillout.com/communitydrop

The first 50 attendees to check in will receive exclusive Support Local Swag Bags, and Fiorelli Winery will be providing complimentary wine tastings.

“This is networking with a twist,” said Beth Deyo, Founder of Discover Bradenton. “Our members love supporting each other, and this event is designed to make that connection even more fun and interactive. It’s a great way to explore downtown while meeting fellow business owners and professionals.”

The Discover Bradenton Business Crawl is free for members of the Discover Bradenton Business Network and their guests. The public is also welcome. Tickets are also available on Eventbrite for $10.
