Ashley Children’s Gasparilla presented by Chick-fil-A Tampa Bay

Ahoy, mateys! The Ashley Children’s Gasparilla presented by Chick-fil-A Tampa Bay will return to Tampa on for Saturday, January 18, 2025. This alcohol-free family event invites pirates of all ages to witness a series of expertly designed parade floats, krewes, marching bands, dance units, and more. The event includes a full day of fun that begins with a Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Rodeo, followed by a Preschoolers’ Stroll presented by Primrose Schools, which invites our littlest mateys to parade down Bayshore Blvd. The Children’s Gasparilla also takes to the skies, entertaining fans with the Gasparilla Air Invasion and the Children\’s Gasparilla “Piratechnic” Finale, which lights up the sky with fireworks above Bayshore Boulevard following the parade.
