Gasparilla Pirate Festival and Children's Parade 2007

In Tampa, Florida a pirate festival began in 1904 called the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, and the festival is celebrated each year. During the festival a fictitious, “piratechnic” sea battle is created over Hillsborough Bay between the City of Tampa, and the Pirates of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla.

While planning your Florida vacation you may also want to consider a stay in an Orlando Vacation Home, centered around fun theme parks, and sparkling white sandy beaches. Orlando is the number one tourist destination in the world, and boasts 7 major theme parks. There is close access to Lake Eola, and you can enjoy festivals, outdoor concerts, or even a gondola ride on the lake. The sports complex, theater, and opera are all located centrally to expand your imagination with many possible entertainment venues.
