Throughout the festival, there will be specific areas along the parade route and in Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park that are designated as drinking areas.
Any consumption of alcohol along public property outside of the designated zones is prohibited, even in the surrounding neighborhoods.
There will be alcohol vendors scattered along the roadway in the "wet zones" specifically to sell to pirates and their krewes.
The City of Tampa also wants to remind all pirates that coolers, kegs and vessels that "provide mass distribution of alcohol" are not allowed at the Gasparilla Pirate Festival.
Also, no glass containers of any type are allowed.
