First thing to do is visit the Gasparilla Site:
.
http://www.gasparillaextravaganza.com/
.
As a member of the Krewe of Venus for the last 15 years and in the parade you can expect 400,000 people at a minimum. The web site I gave you gives all the information on times, maps etc. You also can go to the Gasparilla Breakfast and watch the boats come in....also on that website with phone numbers.

.
If you want to be in the middle of it all stay at the Hyatt downtown Tampa or the Radison on Harbor Island, New Marriott Waterside is also a good place to stay. Make reservations today!!!
