Pirates won’t be the only ones invading Tampa Bay on January 28! The Tropics Boat Tours of Clearwater will be commandeering the Riverwalk in Downtown Tampa at the Tampa Convention Center for their first-ever Gasparilla Dockside Party. From 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM, landlubbers over 21 are invited to party like pirates in wake of the 101st Gasparilla Invasion. Sponsored by Bacardi, this will be THE party you don’t want to miss with drinks, a live DJ, and giveaway prizes, all the while having a spectacular view of the Gasparilla festivities.

Clearwater Invades Tampa Bay with Dockside Party Gasparilla 2017

Two cash bars will be serving Bacardi liquors as well as beer and wine, so there's something for everyone. The Gasparilla 2017 drink special of the day, “Oak and Coke,” is a twist on a classic using Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum instead of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
 
During the dockside party, The Tropics Boat Tours will be giving away gift cards and merchandise from Clearwater Beach businesses, Bacardi swag, and, of course, beads. Plus, the first 50 guests will receive a secret free gift!
 
The Tropics Boat Tours invites you to party with them as the sun sets on the Riverwalk. Enjoy a day on the dockside celebrating Gasparilla, followed by a sweeping panorama orange-pink skies and obsidian waters. The sunset is a perfect conclusion to a fun-filled day… or perhaps, only the beginning of your Gasparilla festivities.
