In 2005, the Gasparilla Extravaganza launched
its newest tradition – the Gasparilla Preschooler’s
Stroll! The Gasparilla Preschooler’s Stroll was designed
to give children five and under an opportunity to experience parade-style
fun in a venue that is conducive for the youngest of pirates!
The Stroll is only ½ mile along Bayshore Blvd., from Bay
to Bay Blvd. to Howard Ave. The costumed participants are
given time to strut their stuff down Bayshore in piratical
preschool style – in a decorated wagon or stroller,
or on a festive tricycle or bicycle!
The
Gasparilla Preschooler's Stroll is open to the public. Participants
must be in pirate-themed attire and must be accompanied by an adult. Motorized
vehicles of any sort are NOT permitted in the Gasparilla Preschooler’s Stroll. You
can download the registration form on the Parade Application page. Registrations must be received in the
EventFest office by January 17, 2009. In order for EventFest
to plan the appropriate space needed for staging, you must register
your preschooler. There will be NO WALK-UPS ADMITTED into the
2009 Gasparilla Preschooler’s Stroll the day of the Event. |
