Ybor’s Knight parade, once Gasparilla’s wild child, cleans up image

The nighttime parade was known for flesh and flash, but efforts to crack down on Gasparilla’s excess have extended to Ybor City.

Thousands of people line up to view the Gasparilla Knight Parade as it marches down Seventh Avenue in Ybor City in 2017. Once known for its rowdy party atmosphere, police said they haven't made an arrest at the Knight parade in several years. [ Tampa Bay Times (2017) ]
