Gasparilla Pirate Fest 2010, Tampa Florida – It’s party time for pirates
Gasparilla is to Tampa what Mardi Gras is to New Orleans – the biggest celebration of the year. It’s our time to throw beads and enjoy the pirate themed extravaganza.
The party Gasparilla is named after Jose Gaspar, who often terrorized the profound waters off the West Coast of Florida in the 18th century. This year the event will be happening on January 30th. If you haven’t booked your place yet, I found that the best option would be Quorum hotel. It’s around 5 miles from the event and it will only cost you $87+ tax.
