Gasparilla Parade Jan 31, 2026

Yo Ho Ho! The Pirate Invasion Is Coming & We Need All Hands On Deck.

Any pirate worthy of his or her name knows grog, beer & rum abound at Gasparilla.
As such, we need beer tent volunteers to keep 'em pirates happy & hydrated.

Why We Don't Want To Walk The Plank:
TAC has a cooperative agreement with the City of Tampa and Team Tampa Rowing. In exchange for our volunteer time, we share usage of their brand-new boats & our rack space fees are waived in the boathouse. In short, we are permitted to row out of this boathouse ONLY because we have agreed to provide these volunteer hours. So, let's weigh anchor!
