Tampa Bay: Welcome to Gasparilla Season!
The bleachers are arising on Bayshore Boulevard, which is the signal that not only is it Parade Season, but also the best time of year to live in Tampa. The events calendar for our beloved area starts to get busier than ever, with concerts and festivals all over the place adding to the pirate-themed invasions of our natural harbor. Though this weekend is about the tykes, it's also a great warm-up for the best time of year to be a resident of the Bay or 'Burg, from St. Pete to Wesley Chapel.
Enjoy it, friends: you are lucky to live in a place where so much happens, and where you can enjoy most of it in shorts and sandals. But not during The Invasions: we need to see your beads and pirates! AARRGGHH!!
