Presented by Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla, this year’s parade will boast over 140 units — including more than 103 elaborate floats, five marching bands, and over 50 distinct Krewes! Hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists attend the parade and related Gasparilla events every year, making January and February a busy season in the region. Pictured on the cover is the Jose Gaspar, the world’s only fully-rigged pirate ship, which annually leads the pirate invasion that begins the annual parade down Bayshore Boulevard and into downtown Tampa.
