| 27. Tampa Invaded by Pirates! |
|
Named for the legendary pirate, Jose Gaspar, who terrorized the coastal waters of West Florida during the late 18th and early 19th century — Gasparilla has been a tradition for over a 100 years. The festivities begin with a children's parade this Saturday, January 19, and culminates next Saturday, January 26 when Jose Gaspar and his rowdy swashbucklers sail into Tampa Bay amid much pageantry and “invade” the city. The tawdry band of pirates then take to the streets in a raucous parade and street party.
