Ahoy mates! The Gasparilla Pirate Festival, Tampa Bay's largest annual party, is only a few short weeks away! On January 30th, Tampa will be invaded by a ship full of pirates for one jam packed day of pirates, parties and parades.
The day begins at dawn when a massive flotilla of boats, led by the Jose Gasparilla, storms the seas, heading through Hillsborough Bay and up the Seddon Channel before landing at the Tampa Convention Center to take control of our fair city. The invasion is quite a sight to see and now is the time to map out your party route.
Jackson's Bistro Bar & Sushi, located on Harbour Island, is the perfect place to start and end your Gasparilla festivities. They're taking over the entire waterfront deck and throwing a massive party, complete with all of the amenities that even the hardiest partying pirate needs. Veteran Gasparilla attendees know it takes planning to tackle the five Gasparilla P's: parties, parking, punch, parade and most importantly, potties!
Jackson's makes it easy to party like a pirate with ample parking, an all day/all night party, plenty of punch, easy access to the parade and a plethora of potties! Secure your spot on the waterfront, grab some punch from one of the numerous portable bars, enjoy music from some of Tampa's top DJ's and watch the pirates take over the city. Satisfy your hunger outside with snacks from the grill or head inside and enjoy Jackson's full menu. And don't worry, guests will have access to plenty of clean potties!
After the city is seized, wander down the Riverwalk to the parade route, just a short walk from Jackson's, and watch the parade. Load up on pirate booty from the 50 Krewes, 90 floats and 14 marching bands and then head back to Jackson's for a full night of partying!
Want to take the party up a notch? Reserve a Cabana or a spot in the special reserved viewing area and enjoy VIP bottle service! Spaces are limited and going fast so call 813-549-8886 to reserve your spot!
See you at Jackson's for the Gasparilla Invasion of 2016!
