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.
