88 Live in Bradenton Celebrates 5 Years with Anniversary Party and Live Music on May 21
Five years in the restaurant and live music business is no small accomplishment — and for 88 Live Piano Bar in Bradenton, that milestone is worth celebrating in a big way.
On Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 7 p.m., 88 Live will mark its 5th anniversary with a special evening of music, gratitude, and celebration featuring one of its favorite bands, 22N. Guests can also enjoy a free champagne toast as the venue honors the loyal customers, music lovers, and community supporters who have helped make the past five years possible.
