Gasparilla Pirate Festival
Each January, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla and the City of Tampa hosts the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, named for legendary pirate captain José Gaspar who operated out of the area. The invasion begins when the "Krewe" (made up of residents of the city) arrives on a 165' long pirate ship, the Jose Gasparilla, in Tampa Bay and land near downtown Tampa.
