Yo ho ho and maybe a couple bottles of rum – it’s Gasparilla time in Tampa, and there’s one party that keeps the celebration going (and the drinks flowing) all day long. Downtown Crawlers is hosting its 8th annual Gasparilla VIP Bar Crawl and Brunch on Saturday, January 25, leading up to, during, and after the Gasparilla Pirate Fest.
The all-day party is the most all-inclusive way to experience Pirate Fest, including bottomless mimosas, exclusive after parties, and access to the best downtown bars throughout the day. Tickets are available now for what will be the biggest Gasparilla party in town, as more than 7,000 crawlers joined the fun in 2024.
So, how does it work? Crawlers get to pick one of eight different restaurants as their official check-in and brunch location, which is where the party begins. Guests can also opt for a bar crawl-only ticket (you still get to pick your check-in location), but brunch tickets include a breakfast buffet at the check-in restaurants, as well as bottomless mimosas from 9 am to noon.
Regardless of which ticket you choose, all crawlers get special access to 20 different bars spread throughout downtown Tampa, Ybor City and South Tampa. In addition to exclusive drink and food specials (plus no covers at any bar), crawlers can also get a free welcome shot at up to five different locations of their choice. They will also get one of the hottest tickets for Gasparilla: access to a VIP Pop Up Rooftop Bar with a live DJ during the parade.
Following the parade, crawlers will have free entry to multiple After Party locations. Throughout the day, there will be professional photos, games, a costume contest, and of course, the chance to meet new people, make friends, and party with fellow pirates throughout downtown.
Check-in at each location runs from 9 am to noon on Saturday, January 25. Tickets are available here.

- CRAWL ONLY TICKET: Free Welcome Shot at 5 bars of your choice (max. 1 per location), Free Cover, Exclusive Drink Specials, Best Pirate Costume Contest, Gasparilla Swag and plenty’o fun guaranteed.
