Ahoy, Mateys! Get ready for a swashbuckling time as the Downtown Crawlers take over Tampa for the Gasparilla Pirate Festival! This annual event brings the city to life with one of the biggest parades in the country, live music, and plenty of pirate-themed fun. From floats to costumes to revelry in the streets, Gasparilla is the perfect way to start off the new year in Tampa Bay. So gather your crew and get ready to plunder the city! Excited to know more?

The Gasparilla celebration dates back to 1904 when a group of businessmen created a reenactment of the legend of José Gaspar, a pirate who was said to have terrorized Florida's Gulf Coast. The first Gasparilla parade was held in 1907 and has since become an integral part of Tampa's culture. Gasparilla is celebrated with a number of events throughout the city. The main event is the Gasparilla Pirate Festival and Parade, held the last Saturday in January. The festivities include the legendary parade, a Downtown festival, live music, and epic bar crawls.

The annual Downtown Crawlers Gasparilla Bar Crawl in Tampa has become one of the most exciting Gasparilla events in Tampa. Every year, the streets of downtown come alive with the sounds of revelers dressed in pirate costumes and shouting "Gasparilla!" as they march through the streets. Downtown Crawlers hosts the best pre-party for locals and travelers alike.
