Gasparilla is an annual holiday in Tampa Bay, an event whose festivities date back to 1904.
The current celebration includes not only a mock invasion and parade but also a Pirate Fest in downtown Tampa with rides, food, live entertainment and more.
And they’re not limited to a weekend.
Gasparilla-related events continue through March, including the Gasparilla Distance Classic for adults and kids (15K, half-marathon, 5K, 8K), the Children’s Gasparilla Parade, Fiesta Day and the Sant’ Yago Knight Parade, an illuminated night event voted one of the Southeast’s best.
