Gasparilla Pirate Festival is a renowned annual event in Tampa, Florida, where the daring buccaneers of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla have been delighting locals and visitors for over a century with their relentless pursuit of hidden treasures. From the thrilling Seminole Hard Rock Gasparilla Pirate Fest, featuring a Parade of Pirates down Bayshore Boulevard, to the family-friendly Ashley Children's Gasparilla presented by Chick-fil-A Tampa Bay, complete with a pirate-themed parade, dance performances, and fireworks extravaganza, Gasparilla offers a day of daring adventure for all ages.
Before bidding farewell, the Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla embarks on the Outbound Voyage aboard the Jose Gasparilla II, the world's only fully-rigged pirate ship, docking in downtown Tampa to welcome the Krewe and local pediatric cancer survivors after an adventurous sail around Davis and Harbor Islands. Gasparilla Pirate Festival is a must-attend event for those seeking a taste of swashbuckling excitement and the chance to immerse themselves in Tampa's rich pirate history.
