Gasparilla Invasion
Thank you to all the pirates who joined us for the 2022 Gasparilla Invasion Party.
Together we celebrated this Tampa tradition and raised vital funds for our community projects. Mark your calendars now for next year’s event on January 28, 2023.
Pirates with Purpose
Scallywags and sea rovers alike are invited to The Junior League of Tampa’s annual Gasparilla Invasion Party. Hosted at our Headquarters on Davis Islands, the party attracts over 500 attendees each year to watch Tampa’s famous pirate ship and Gasparilla Flotilla cruise down Seddon Channel.

Invasion Viewing
From our waterfront location, you can watch the Gasparilla Flotilla make its way down the channel and onto the shores of downtown Tampa.

Food & Drink
With a feast fit for a pirate king, the Gasparilla Invasion Party features food, drinks and spirits from Tampa’s premiere caterers.

Entertainment
Music, photo booths and giveaways keep spirits high among even the saltiest buccaneers.
Sponsor Gasparilla
With our waterfront location on Davis Islands, The Junior League of Tampa enjoys spectacular front-row seating for Tampa’s one-of-a-kind annual Gasparilla Invasion Flotilla. Our Gasparilla Invasion Party provides an exceptional opportunity for sponsor visibility not only to attendees but also to the thousands of revelers in the Flotilla whose boats pass by our JLT waterfront party.
JLT’s four-hour-long festivities and extensive promotion among membership provide multiple opportunities for sponsor recognition in League publications, social media, signage, and other communications before, during, and after the event.
