January and February provide a fun moment during the year to transition from amazing new year celebrations straight into pirates!
Care to take a guess when the famous Gasparilla pirate festival started?
1904 believe it or not, and it’s truely a spectical of epic proportions, featuring one the largest annual parades in the United States. Folks wager a staggering 300,000 people attended the 2025 parade this year.
Thankfully, there were enough people out and about to party after the parade. We were able to contribute by providing light up furniture for Bar HWRD’s annual block party. Needless to say the pirates rocked hard that night.
Another great event we were blessed to be a part of was Brooke’s Butterfly Bash at the Oak Street Exchange in Saint Petersburg, Florida. A gathering focused on supporting supporting children & families undergoing treatment for Lupus. This years gala was an important step in getting the word out and providing much needed support for the Lupus community.

Of course we can’t forget to mention all the musicial happenings around town. The Castellano AllStars played at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday Festival in downtown right before the new year. They showcased a great jazz set and their videos of the performance will be coming soon!
Filming bands is such fun, especially when they decide to set up a killer light show. I’m looking at you Symmetry Band. Every show should have laser lights and moving heads its a game changer.
Getting to work with so many talented people makes our job that much easier. Next up is Mardi Gras and festival season!
