The 2010 Gasparilla Children's Parade and Piratechnic Extravaganza is tomorrow. In keeping with the pirate theme, many homes in Tampa are festooned with Gasparilla wreaths and black flags with the skull and crossbones. This coconut head swashbuckler is on a door in Hyde Park, ground zero for tomorrow's parade and next Saturday's main event, the Gasparilla Invasion and Parade that begins on Bayshore Boulevard and continues into downtown. A total of 131 units, including 70 floats and 51 krewes, will take part tomorrow and they estimate as many as 250,000 kids - big and small - will enjoy the day. Next Saturday's main parade could attract 350,000-400,000 spectators.

How festive and fun. I hope it's a lovely sunny day.
Sunny :)
Merry Christmas! Ooops! That's not an Xmas wreath. Shoot. Oh, well, it should be a fun time, anyway. Do the kids get presents?
@ Sunny - The weather is supposed to be gorgeous. Warm and bright sunshine.
@ Jacob -Every kid, of every age - male and female - get beads. Tons and tons of beads. From tomorrow through next Saturday, they are precious and worth their weight in gold. Valuable beyond belief. After that they are worthless.
Wow, that's a heck of a crowd. I hope you'll be there with camera in hand.
Good find, Dad. Love the coconut!
Yes, I saw the promo for this on your local news last week.
This is a perfect event for children because they like the Parades, colors and Piratechnic Extravaganza, also I enjoyed that show because it join teenagers, children and adults together.
