 We, Ye Mystic Krewe
of Gasparilla, invite
you to step lively ‘n’ join us as we once again
invade the City of Tampa to share our trinkets ‘n’ treasures – a
tradition we’ve honored since 1904.
Our band of marauding buccaneers will be settin’ our
sails to descend on the City of Tampa in the wee mornin’ hours
of
Saturday the 28th of January …
and
we’ll be looking fer you!
Come celebrate the Gasparilla Invasion as
we enter Hillsborough Bay in the tall-masted Jose Gasparilla
pirate ship (she’s a beauty), with cannons a-boomin’ and
flags unfurled.
Join us for the Gasparilla Invasion Brunch,
when we’ll dock at the Tampa Convention Center fer a hearty
meal befittin’ a hungry band o’ buccaneers!
Fill yer pockets with the beads ‘n’ treasures
we’ll be throwin’ as we wind our merry way down Bayshore
Boulevard in the lively, colorful Parade
of the Pirates.
Dance in the streets with me ‘n’ my mateys to
live music at the Pirate Fest Street Festival.
So, scuttle yer other plans ‘n’ be prepared to
come party with us. If ye don’t join in the festivities,
it may be the plank for you! Arrrrrgh!

Captain, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla
