Tampa’s legendary Gasparilla parades, which had been postponed until April 10 and 17, have now been canceled altogether.

Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla (YMKG) and EventFest made the announcement Tuesday morning.

“Only a handful of times did our daring pirate invaders decide to spare the city from invasion due to unprecedented world events. This year, our pirates are making a similar decision to remain offshore and table their invasion plans until the seas calm,” Ye Mystic Krewe wrote in a statement.
