Hooray Manatee Family Fun Day is a full-day, action-packed celebration designed to bring families together for unforgettable summer fun! Hosted by Sunshine & Friends Productions, this community-driven event takes place Sunday, June 22nd from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the Manatee County Fairgrounds in Palmetto, Florida.
We’re transforming the fairgrounds into a kid-powered wonderland featuring:

• Foam Party Pits – Kids (and grownups!) can dance, splash, and play in a safe, bubbly foam zone.
• Nerf Gun & Water Gun Wars – Gear up and head into our fun battle zones.
• Designated Toddler Play Zone – A safe and separate space for the littlest adventurers (ages 5 and under) with soft inflatables and age-appropriate activities.
• Live Entertainment – DJs, musicians, and surprise performances will keep the party vibe going all day long.
• Face Painting, Balloon Twisting & Magic Shows – Nonstop smiles from talented local entertainers.
• Petting Zoo & Pony Rides – Get up close and personal with friendly farm animals.
• Craft & Retail Vendors – Shop local goods, unique handmade items, and gifts.
