A Tampa tradition since 1904, Gasparilla Fest is an exciting adventure for the entire family! Currently scheduled for April 17, the festival starts with a pirate “invasion,” featuring a full-size pirate ship heading into Tampa Bay, surrounded by a flotilla of boaters. The pirates disembark and “steal” the key to the city, which is, of course, always happily handed over by the city’s mayor!
After the invasion and key “theft,” the pirates then lead a parade of floats down the street, accompanied by marching bands and many other attractions. In addition to all this excitement, there is a DJ station and live music throughout the day, and the pirate ship stays anchored in the bay so you can go onboard, buy a cold beer, and enjoy the view!
