Happy Holidays from Registry Tampa Bay!

This past weekend, Gasparilla Cars in the Park brought the Tampa Bay automotive community together in a way that reminds us why we cherish this event each year. From sunrise roll-ins to the final applause at the awards ceremony, Carrollwood Village Park was filled with passion, craftsmanship, and a shared love for the stories that these cars carry.

As sponsors and longtime supporters, we were proud to stand alongside the incredible volunteers, exhibitors, and enthusiasts who make this gathering more than just a car show. It was a celebration of community, history, and the people who keep Tampa Bay’s collector culture thriving.

This year’s event was one of the strongest yet. The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, and the momentum is already building for December 5, 2026, when they will return once again to beautiful Carrollwood Village Park.

What makes this event special is not just the cars on display, but the purpose behind it. Gasparilla Cars in the Park is powered entirely by dedicated volunteers, with every dollar of impact going straight to charity.

A highlight of the day was our own CEO and Publisher, Tom duPont, leading the on-stage “Torque Talk with Tom.” Joined by an impressive panel of industry minds, including Olivier Cerf, Derek Hennecke, and a representative of Rick Brandt. The conversation brought depth, personality, and perspective to a field that continues to grow and evolve in Tampa Bay. It was a reminder that our region isn’t just participating in automotive culture, we’re shaping it.

As we look ahead to 2026, we invite you to save the date.

December 5, 2026 | Carrollwood Village Park.
