Guavaween is an annual open street Halloween celebration with Latin Flavor. The event takes place on the last Saturday of October in Ybor City, Florida.
Since its inception more than 20 years ago, Guavaween has grown increasingly popular and has become one of the largest festivals in Ybor. The daylight hours are usually more family-oriented and in the past have included such activities as a costume contest, scavenger hunt, Safe Trick-or-treat at Centro Ybor, food and amusement rides. Around dusk the Mama Guava Stumble Parade, Guavaween's most popular attraction, makes it way down Seventh Avenue, the main street in Ybor. The parade, led by Mama Guava, features floats and costumed individuals who throw candy and beads to the spectators.
man I miss that crazy party. I lived in Clearwater for 10 years. Went to guavaween every year. I live in Kansas now (don't ask) I plan to get back there after college.
