Social Club Tagalong @ Gasparilla 2026

The third-largest parade in the U.S. is here! Get ready for all of the festivities taking place in downtown Tampa.

The best way on how to handle this event is to park as close as to Kennedy Blvd as you can -- the walk is well worth it. That way it’s easy for you to get out because once the parade is over, you can be stuck in traffic for hours in the neighborhoods.

We’ll meet at the location referenced first, wait around 15-20 minutes for everyone to huddle up and then start walking into the parade.

If you cannot make it on time before we head into the parade, then it’s best to try and find us around the intersection of W Swann Ave & S Magnolia Ave. That area has a huge variety of food selection.

***We do not host the Gasparilla Parade event itself, we only host the social group being there at the event***

*The event itself that we'll be attending and going in together is free*

See you there!

This ticket contains the admission to our event itself with group access for the night into our social club known as Tampa Bay Meetup.

The ticket also grants you optional entry into becoming both a lifetime Tampa Bay Meetup Facebook and Tampa Bay Meetup Meetup member in which membership is free.

Once you’re a member, you’ll have access to be inside both our platforms and have potential to see and sign up for all of our events.

The events are weekend concentrated and there are an average of about 6-8 events per a month.

With your membership, you’ll be able to connect with over three thousand people, make discussion posts, introduce yourself and potentially create your very own friend group.

Once you purchase this ticket, the links to the group will be displayed on your order confirmation with more instructions.

Make sure you request to get into the group as soon as possible once you make your order so you can stay plugged in with the organizer and members to attend this event together.

Group entry fees won’t always be this cheap!

So get plugged in now and don’t miss out!
