Gasparilla Pirate Festival
In 1904, members of the Tampa business elite put on an "invasion" of their city based on the increasingly popular figure of Gasparilla. Under the guise of "Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla", an organization modeled after the New Orleans Mardi Gras parade krewes, the invaders donned pirate costumes and rode through the streets on horseback. The event was a hit, and the Krewe planned an even more elaborate spectacle the next year, when all 60 of Tampa's cars were paraded through downtown. Now the invasion is lead by the massive pirate parade float. The Gasparilla Pirate Festival has been celebrated every year since then, with only two lapses, and today, over 700,000 attend the event, which contributes over $20 million to the local economy.
