Hip Hip Hooray!!! The packed house at Hamburger Mary’s in GaYBOR/ Ybor City for the benefit charity Ybor City Holiday Spirit Parade. The parade is set for December 14th with a huge parade down 7th Ave with 14 High School Marching Bands, floats, Social Krewes and political leaders. All the winter ambiance under the large snow flakes falling from overhead balconies.

    The participants of the BINGO event had a great time. The winner of the raffle won himself a large pallet full of booze. Now, that is a party in itself! The pic’s tell all.

    This is the 7th year Ybor City has decorated its streets with beginning help from the GaYBOR District Coalition. Ybor Holiday Spirit Parade is only 3 years old and a major attraction during the holidays. Experience the tallest decorated Christmas Tree in Tampa, the fun parade and the falling snow make for a very festive and talked about GaYBOR/ Ybor City.

    This year the Florida Entertainment Group which puts together the big parade event with the oversight planning of set designer, Mathieu Stanoch, is hoping for a parade attendance of over 50,000+.

    Oh yes, Santa Claus even gets involved to kick off the holidays in lighting the Holiday Tree in Centro Ybor and being in the memorable Holiday Parade..
