2010 Parade Guide
|
The Mama Guava Stumble
Parade makes it's way down 7th Avenue. |
Come make history at the 25th
Anniversary of Guavaween in Historic Ybor City!
Ybor's own Tampa Digital will be
documenting this year's Mama Guava Stumble
and Features’ Costume Contest in high
definition for future promotion!
Guavaween
originated as a non-motorized parade, in
which creative minds of Tampa came
together to express themselves while
partying in the streets of Ybor City! In
respect to the original street party twenty-five
years ago, the parade is once again
non-motorized, challenging participants to
showcase their talents in new and original ways!
The parade is open to everyone and it’s not too
late to join in the fun! Entry is free*, and
all pre-registered participants are eligible for
a $3 rebate on their admission ticket!
So grab your walking boots, roller skates,
roller blades, skateboards, bicycles, wagons,
wheelbarrows and what not, and join Mama
Guava in presenting the weirdest, wackiest
and tackiest parade in Tampa Bay! Make a
statement! Reflect your sense of humor, sarcasm
and mockery while exercising your First
Amendment right, because only at Guavaween
can you win unique and hilarious prizes in ten
