Knight Parade of Gasparilla 2006 Tampa Florida. This video centers on Ye Enchanted Krewe of Brigadoon and the sister Krewe "Thieves of San Lorenzo", "They will Steal Your Heart Away". Brigadoon is based on the Broadway play of the same name about a mystic land that appeared every so often in time. The Krewe are in Scottish pirate costume and the float feature a 50 ft fire breathing dragon. Like most Krews of Gasparilla, Brigadoon krew members raise and donate thousands of dollars to local charities.

Ye Enchanted Krewe of Brigadoon was formed by many, not one: to encourage and facilitate camaraderie and fellowship by providing an opportunity to support local charity organizations and to participate in local parades. http://www.dragonkrewe.org

HISTORY OF GASPARILLA– The Legend
Gasparilla sounds like an exotic drink...or perhaps even a rare, tropical flower. But, as any Tampa resident can attest, "Gasparilla" means boats, pirates, parades, merriment and more. It means January is here, and the city's illustrious festival celebration is, once again, about to begin.

Gasparilla...the pirate. The name and foundation of Tampa's traditional Gasparilla Carnival come from legendary pirate Jose Gaspar, "last of the Buccaneers," who terrorized the coastal waters of West Florida during the late 18th and early 19th century. Gaspar, given to calling himself "Gasparilla," served as a lieutenant in the Royal Spanish Navy for five years until 1783 when, upon seizing command of a Spanish sloop-of-war, he with his fellow mutineers set sail for the Florida straits. And so the young Spanish aristocrat-turned-pirate began an adventurous life as outlaw of the sea.
