Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Tampa Gasparilla Invasion & Parade

To celebrate their capture of the City of Tampa, the Captain and his Krewe share their wealth – glittering beads, treasures, and doubloons – with a lively, enthusiastic crowd along the 4.5 -mile parade route.

Join Tampa’s original buccaneers, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla, as they wind their way down historic Bayshore Blvd. and into downtown Tampa – amidst colorful costumes and festive music. The Gasparilla Parade of the Pirates will boast over 140 units – including more than 103 elaborate floats, 5 marching bands, and over 50 distinct Krewes.
