The Children's Gasparilla Extravaganza is a non-alcoholic, family-oriented day of pirate inspired festivities. Held annually, one week before the more adult oriented Gasparilla Pirate Fest, it's an opportunity for the little ones to enjoy dressing up as pirates and join in the fun. The event is held on Bayshore Boulevard between Bay to Bay Boulevard and W Watous Avenue and consists of vendors and activities, a Preschool Stroll where tots can parade in their pirate finery, a Children's Parade, and a fireworks finale. All the events are free, but reserved seating for the parade can be purchased on the event website.
