Residents of the Tampa Bay area look forward to the annual celebration and Hyde Park parade. However, next year the event may move to a new location. Gasparilla parade organizers and city officials told Hyde Park residents on March 4 that they will discuss the possibility of moving the iconic Tampa event because of the problems with underage drinking and public rowdiness. Read Robbyn Mitchell's article about this issue on Tampabay.com.
