GASPARILLA
PIRATE FEST WEEKENDER, Tampa
2 - Night Package includes Marina Seating VIP Tickets to the PARADE!
GASPARILLA is the largest pirate theme event in the world!
Not a pirate fest in the typical meaning but a pirate theme Mardi Gras on a similar scale. A legacy of over 100 years it’s a week-long charity event drawing half a million people & a thousand boats of all sizes. The Saturday afternoon parade alone now numbers 100 floats & lasts over two hours. WE have some of the best seats. Many catch more beads than they can carry! Partying takes place all over the downtown area throughout the weekend & dozens of businesses are involved.
Friday Evening:
AAARRRive at our Tampa Bay-front hotel followed by a trip to Gaspar's Grotto in downtown Ybor City (Pirate Party Central) Friday night!
(There WILL be a group dynamic to this BUT you are NOT obligated to stick with us.)
Ybor City is a nightlife mecca in its own right, but you can walk to the Channelside complex to party there too.
Saturday:
A short walk to local parties. You might visit Jackson’s Bistro over the S. Harbour Island Blvd. Bridge for brunch as an excellent spot to watch the boats & ships come into the harbor. Then a short ½ mile walk back over to our VIP area for the parade.
No need to hurry later as you can party on into the night or head back to the hotel to relax.
Some of us may return to Gaspar’s Grotto.
NOTE: A separate but associated day trip is being planned to accompany this weekender. The two groups will meet at the parade location.
After check-out Sunday morning & breakfast there’s time to visit local museums(additional expense) before heading home mid-afternoon.
