Gasparilla Pirate Fest Tampa

http://gasparillapira...
Country's LARGEST Pirate Fest!
(As of this moment we have 13+ going already, NOT including MeetUps on 4 sites!)shock

At nine bells in the morning board our own Pirate Sailing Bus at the Wal-Mart Viera Murphy Gas Station Parking area. Bring yer OWN BOOZE & COOLERS! There is a head (bathroom) and entertainment aboard. Door Prizes TOO! Driving over as close to the wind as we dare we plot our course to Ybor City partying all the way (We’re PIRATES, damn it!) We are able to take on crew in favorable roadsteads en route. After dropping anchor in Ybor City we’ll cut out (hijack) a local shallop (trolly) and ride’er to the very gate of Tampa herself! We’ll party with the locals as we make our way to our VIP (Very Intimidating Pirates) lair (bleachers) for an unobstructed view of the 2 pm 100 float parade well within bead throwing distance. When we’ve filled our treasure chests it’s ON to YBOR City for more partying & chow. Finally our trusty vessel carries us away to home waters sometime before midnight.

All this for only $65 daBLOONS!shock

Ride INCLUDES VIP bleacher seating: elbow room, private port-o-lets, concessions & celebrities nearby. All kinds of piratical flotsam & jetsam interacted with us last time! Hang out at other party areas & STILL be guaranteed parade seats at 2:00 pm. Parade lasted hours last year & we bagged TONS of beads!

MUST have $30 (cost of VIP Ticket) deposit by the end of Novenber!

Balance due before boarding.
($65 total includes reserved viewing seats: $30 VIP ticket + $35 bus fare = $65 total.)

Refund Policy: You MUST find a substitution! If WE cancel the event YOU will get a FULL REFUND. Otherwise, once we purchase the tickets we’re going.

PLEASE make check payable to Gary L. Haas, 340 Myrtlewood Road, Melbourne, FL 32940

    • “ Teresa, Lee & Gary did a great job! .. Lots of fun, everyone should experience Gasperilla Pirate Festival!!! The parade was FANTASTIC... it did rain, but Gary brought Ponchos for those of us who did not.. :) .. Booze was hard to find, but a quick trip to Publix fixed that! .. Seats for the parade were awesome.. tons of beads were had... ate and partied at Ybor city which was great! .. Randy the bus driver was awesome in getting us there and back! Good trip! ”
    • “ A thousand boats of all shapes & sizes, tens of thousands of 'pirates', hundreds of thousands of spectators. It has to be seen to be believed. The bus ride over was a party in itself. We all barely fit on one trolly to the gate of the event. MORE than enough room in our VIP area which not only provides the best view of the harbor but allows best viewing & bead catching for the parade itself! Our party continued later with dinner at Gaspar's Grotto in nearby Ybor City where we got on the trolly. Some of us managed to stay awake to watch the movie on the bus ride home. :-) This is a must-do event each year! AAARRR! G. ”
