Gasparilla Pirate Festival

Held annually in January or February, The Gasparilla Pirate Festival celebrates the legend of Jose Gaspar, nicknamed Gasparilla. Gasparilla is a mythical Spanish pirate who supposedly raided the west coast of Florida in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

During the annual Pirate Festival, members of the Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla sail across Tampa Bay on a pirate ship and “invade” the city. Shortly after, a “victory parade” ensues. The parade includes marching bands, elaborate floats, and members of the “krewe” throwing beads, coins, and other treats to the crowd.

The festival is held every year in late January or early February and promises fun for the whole family.

Tampa's most iconic neighborhood, Ybor City offers plenty of things to do for curious travelers. Soak in authentic Cuban culture, nibble on vibrant cuisine, tour local breweries and more. Enjoy the sounds and smells of Cuban influence, just two miles away.

Revel in the rich history of Ybor City during your stay at Le Méridien Tampa. Situated just a short drive away from this inimitable Tampa district, we offer hotel guests an elevated escape in the heart of the city.

Once known as the "Cigar Capital of the World," Ybor City was founded by Vicente Martinez-Ybor in 1886 as a cigar manufacturing town. Immigrants from Cuba, Spain, and Sicily fled into the city to work in cigar factories, thus contributing to Ybor's dynamic atmosphere. Today, Ybor City's red brick buildings, wrought iron balconies and Florida sunshine capture the true Latin American spirit in Tampa.

Le Méridien Tampa is just a few minutes’ drive from Ybor City, allowing guests to take a quick excursion to this iconic Tampa neighborhood.
