Heading to Tampa for the Gasparilla festivities? The weather should cooperate. Temps will be in the 70s and there’s only a little chance of any rain. The invasion begins at 11:30am. The Parade of the Pirates goes from 2pm to 5pm.
Bring your patience. It does get crowded, people get rowdy and parking isn’t easy. Gasparilla reps suggest using rideshare apps like Uber or Lyft instead. Also the streetcars will be running to and from Ybor.
Know before you go what can and can’t be brought to the parade. You definitely don’t want to have to do that long walk back to the car to drop things off. Organizers say you should leave these 5 things behind.
