The weather was picture-perfect for the Gasparilla Parade this past Saturday. In the mid 70’s with no humidity, this was a chamber of commerce dream. There were huge and for the most part, well-behaved crowds for this annual Tampa event.
The only problems that I saw were a couple of float or vehicle breakdowns along the parade route. The Plant High football team’s float had a malfunction…but they carried on like the champions they are. They got off and marched in the parade.
Next Saturday, February 14th is the Knights of Sant Yago’s annual Illuminated Knight Parade. This is the largest illuminated parade in the South East U.S. and is quite a beautiful parade. All of the entries glow with thousands of lights as they make their way through Tampa’s famed Latin Quarter, Ybor City.
And remember...if you need a ride, go to http://www.tampabaytowncars.com/ and pick your driver.
