Gasparilla Pirate Invasion-2012

Another Tampa activity that Ray and I enjoy is Gasparilla.  Gasparilla is a huge Tampa tradition.  It consist's of the "Pirate Invasion", which involves a huge pirate ship with hundred's of pirates aboard.  The ship sail's into the south end of Hillsborough Bay and dock's at the Tampa Convention Center.

After the pirate ship dock's, the pirates head into town for the Parade.  During the parade the pirates toss bead's to all the people waiting  along Tampa's waterfront.  There is also a Pirate Fest which includes bands, food and lots of fun.
