De Soto Ball

An elegant, black-tie evening celebrating the investiture of our newest Hernando de Soto with all of the glitter, pomp and circumstance befitting this Grand Ball. Cheer with us as Hernando de Soto’s new Crewe of Conquistadors make their inaugural appearance. Then applaud as we crown our new Queen and Princess, while honoring the 2016 Queen’s Court. After the ceremonies you will have an enjoyable evening with entertainment and dancing lasting until midnight. For decades this magnificent affair has been one of Manatee County’s most prestigious social events.
