The 2025 Seminole Hard Rock Gasparilla Pirate Fest will be coming to Tampa toward the end of January. This will be the Parade of the Pirates and 106th Gasparilla Invasion.
Taking place on a Saturday, this year's Gasparilla Invasion Brunch will offer cocktails, a meal and an excellent view of the Jose Gasparilla with her pirate crew and booming cannons coming up the Seddon Channel.
Tickets are $155 for adults, and the event will take place from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on January 25th at the Tampa Convention Center.
The Gasparilla Invasion will be a flotilla of over 100 vessels manned by Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla pirates sailing into the basin at the Tampa Convention Center. The Captain of the Joe Gasparilla will be demanding the city key from the Mayor of Tampa at 1:00 pm.
From 2:00 pm until 5:30 pm, The City of Tampa will be under the siege by the pirates as they march down Bayshore Boulevard in Downtown Tampa in a four-and-a-half-mile victory parade. Other entries in the parade will include marching bands, floats, and Krewes. Parade entries often go to local Print shops before the event to get banner printing arranged.
From 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, the Gasparilla Pirate Fest stages in Curtis Hixon Water Park and MacDill Park will have live entertainment.
