Where You Can Drink During Gasparilla

Author Zito

What would a Pirate Holiday be without a drink or two? But you may not know that you can’t drink just anywhere in the Bay Area. Tampa Police have recently put a tweet out explaining some of the lesser-known rules of Gasparilla, but they also released a map showing where it’s legal to be drinking.

Make sure you keep your drinking outside of the neighborhoods and out along Bay Shore Blvd. If you need someplace to get a drink, the map provides STARS where local vendors can be found handing out drinks.
