Reserved Seating Options for Tampa’s Signature Events are on Sale Now
TAMPA, FL (June 10, 2026) – EventFest and Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla (YMKG) announced today that reserved-seating tickets for the 2027 Ashley Children’s Gasparilla, presented by Chick-fil-A Tampa Bay and the Seminole Hard Rock Gasparilla Pirate Fest, are now on sale. Ticket options include reserved parade seating, the Invasion Brunch, the Gasparilla Parade of Pirates, and Pirate Fest, all of which are now available for purchase.
Scheduled for Saturday, January 23, 2027, the Ashley Children’s Gasparilla presented by Chick-fil-A Tampa Bay is Tampa’s premier family-friendly pirate celebration. The alcohol-free event features parade floats, krewes, marching bands, dance units, and interactive entertainment along Bayshore Boulevard.
The day’s festivities begin with the Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Rodeo, followed by a Preschoolers’ Stroll presented by Primrose Schools, where Tampa’s youngest pirates take center stage. Guests can also enjoy the Gasparilla Air Invasion and the Children’s Gasparilla “Piratechnic” Finale, a fireworks spectacular that lights up the Tampa waterfront following the parade.
The Gasparilla Invasion Brunch returns on Saturday, January 30, 2027, continuing a Tampa tradition dating back to the late 1980s. Hosted at the Tampa Convention Center, the brunch offers guests a premium view of the fully-rigged Jose Gasparilla II and its flotilla as pirates invade the city by sea and dock tableside for the legendary Invasion.
Following the invasion, the 2027 Gasparilla Parade of Pirates presented by Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla takes over Bayshore Boulevard as the centerpiece of Tampa’s legendary pirate celebration. The parade features more than 120 units, including elaborate floats, marching bands, and the swashbuckling pirates of YMKG.
Due to overwhelming demand, a second Scully Hospitality location has been added for both parades in 2027. This expansion provides additional opportunities for guests to enjoy Scully Hospitality’s premier parade-day atmosphere, exceptional service, and unmatched views along the route.
For a limited time, guests can take advantage of early-bird pricing and secure prime viewing locations for both events. Interactive seating maps are available at GasparillaTreasures.com, allowing guests to select their exact seats at the time of purchase. These highly treasured seat locations sell out quickly, and early purchase is recommended.
