This Saturday January 24th, will see more than just the opening of The NFL Experience at Raymond James Stadium. If you’re in town, be sure and head down to Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa for the Gasparilla Extravaganza. Known locally as “The Gasparilla Children’s’ Parade,” this is an annual event that kicks of the parade season in Tampa Bay.
This year there will be a Bicycle Safety Rodeo for the kids, a Preschoolers Stroll (for those too young to toss beads in the parade) and the parade itself. Children of the various Krewe members get to ride on the big-people floats and toss beads to cheering crowds.
There will be a fly-over by vintage aircraft and a fireworks display at the end. This is an alcohol-free event in keeping with the family-friendly theme.
Come on down an enjoy the festivities. And remember...if you need a ride, go to http://www.tampabaytowncars.com/ and pick your driver.
