Water Street Tampa’s favorite four-legged tradition is back and fluffier than ever.
The annual Pirate Pup Parade and Costume Contest sets sail Sunday, Jan. 11, for its third year of costumed canines, local rescues, and tail-wagging fun for a good cause.
🎉 10 a.m. | The festivities begin
Snap pet portraits, browse pirate-worthy gear and goodies, and enjoy live music, face painting, and plenty of treats for humans and hounds alike.
🏴☠️ 12 p.m. | The Pup Parade
Cheer on the floats as the pup parade rolls through Water Street, showing off their best swashbuckling looks.
⚓ 2 p.m. | Costume contest at Sparkman Wharf
The cuteness and camaraderie continue with the Pirate Pup Costume Contest (with prizes) and more family-friendly festivities.
