Diversions
The Knights of the night
By Times Staff Writer
Published February 8, 2007
For Gasparilla, the nighttime version, illuminated floats get rolling in Ybor City Saturday for the Sant'Yago Knight Parade - taking a new side trip this year through the Channelside district. But first, there's the kid stuff. A Family Fiesta of daytime fun runs from 2 to 6 p.m. in front of the Florida Aquarium, with entertainment, skateboard demos, inflatables, games and contests. The scene typically gets rowdier when the parade begins at 6:30 p.m., heading north on Channelside Drive, then moving east along Seventh Avenue through Ybor City. Bleacher seating can be bought for $25. Call (813) 248-0721 or go online to www.cc-events.org.
