https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2021/02/09/bucs-will-have-boat-parade-in-tampa-wednesday-to-celebrate-super-bowl-55/?TAMPA The Buccaneers will celebrate their Super Bowl 55 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on the water with a boat parade Wednesday on the Hillsborough River in Tampa.
The parade will begin at 1 p.m. near Armature Works. Fans will be able to watch along the Riverwalk, Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, Curtis Hixon Park and other waterside spots. Those who cant attend in person can watch a live stream from the Buccaneers, city of Tampa and Hillsborough County social media accounts, said an official involved in the planning.
Unlike the Lightning celebration in September, boaters wont be allowed to take part in the procession, which will include Mayor Jane Castor and city and county leadership, along with an unspecified number of Buccaneers players and personnel.
Bucs fans with boats can still attend the parade, however. The city is just requiring that their vessels stay 50 feet from the official boats. Those who wander too close could face criminal charges, according to the release.

Let's just hope that they put a float on the Lombardi trophy (unlike the Stanley Cup) when they jet ski around with it.

I wonder how many Florida boats still have their loser flags drooping over the bow in shame.

#BreakingNews The Coast Guard & partner agencies will be enforcing a safety zone in Tampa from 1:30-5p.m. for the Tampa Bucks boat parade. Mariners should maintain 50ft from parade vessels while enjoying the festivities. #SuperBowlLV
The Bucks relocated from Milwaukee??!

Biden actually won the Tampa Bay area. Of course, the type of people who will risk going to a parade during covid are probably Trumpers so you got a point.
