This parade will be a celebration of the contributions of Hometown Heroes to the Tampa Bay community and recognition of our Armed Forces. Notably, on May 29, 1898, 1060 Rough Riders and 1258 of their horses and mules travelled on the Southern Pacific railroad from San Antonio, Texas to Tampa, Florida prior to setting off to Cuba!
This parade is an opportunity for the Rough Riders and other Krewes to honor local Hometown Heroes on their floats - doctors, nurses, essential personnel, military personnel, etc.
