Sorry pirates, 2021 isn’t going to be your year. Tampa, Fla., recently announced that it would be canceling the yearly celebration of its local pirate lore due to the pandemic. The parade and ensuing community events have been called off due to concerns related to the pandemic, although they are expected to return next year. The festival includes a large parade, local music, pirate costumes and even a mock invasion of fake pirates. Similar to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, local krewes will form to participate in the parade and make sure that every pirate does their duty.
