Doug Benc/Getty ImagesGasparilla 2018 Invasion is this Saturday with the boats arriving downtown around 1p. The pirates will take over the city and then celebrate with a Victory Parade down Bayshore Blvd. The Victory Parade starts at 2p with 140 units, 103 floats, 3 marching bands and at least 50 Krewes. There will be pre and post concerts and parties at multiple locations in downtown Tampa. The NHL All Star Game is in town so you know traffic will be crazy! To celebrate the NHL All Star Game the Krewes in the Victory Parade will be throwing out soft hockey pucks in edition to beads. The only rule they have this year is please don't throw anything back at the floats!
