Captain Morgan mingles with fans before joining a crowd of hundreds in a dance during a flash mob along the parade route before the start of the Gasparilla Pirate Fest Street Festival on Saturday January 29, 2011 in Tampa, Fla.TAMPA, Fla. – For more than 100 years, Tampa has held a celebration of pirate lore known as Gasparilla. Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla represented Tampa's old guard when it began the event in 1904, and is still at the helm today. The Gasparilla parade annually draws hundreds of thousands of people as beads and other trinkets are thrown from floats, some resembling pirate ships and firing cannons. The event in Tampa is named for Jose Gaspar, a Spanish pirate dubbed the “Last of the Buccaneers," hence the name of the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team. The next parade is now set for Jan. 29, 2022, preceded by a children's parade on Jan. 22.
