Manatee County residents and visitors celebrate the Fourth of July holiday with fireworks, food, parades and beach time, as these photos from the Bradenton Herald archives demonstrate. To see more photos from past July 4th activities check out the slideshow
It has been a tradition at the Anna Maria Island Fourth of July celebration for the island kids to decorate their bikes and ride in the annual parade. This group of fun riders from 1983 appears to have set the standard for years to come.
You can't celebrate our nation's birthday without a hotdog and beans cookout, and Brian Labonte looks like he was enjoying his fine fare at the 1992 Bayshore Gardens residents' picnic.
The Fourth wouldn't be complete without a dip in the Gulf or, as this beachgoer in 1988 was set to do, ride the waves in an inflated innertube float.
