It is a bit like Carnival. Here is a link to a short history.

It used to take place closer to Mardi Gras time, but over the years has gotten closer to SuperBowl.
That's incredible, Lena :D :D :D Never even HEARD of it :oops:
That second picture is pretty unbelievable. :lol:
Thanks for the links Lena - must admit I'd never heard of it before either - looks like great FUN :lol: :lol:
Terrific photos 8)
Gasparilla really is a fun time and there is more to it than the invasion and parade. There are many promotions for the Arts and for Charity.
Thanks Lena, great pictures and looks like fun. :)
