TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and City of Tampa will put a fitting end to the team's Super Bowl run with a Wednesday boat parade.
It will start at 1 p.m. along the Hillsborough River, much like the parade put on for the Tampa Bay Lightning's Stanley Cup victory.
The Bucs' boat parade will kick off near Armature Works and cruise south, past Curtis Hixon Park and wrap up near Sparkman Wharf. Fans won't be allowed to watch from Julian B. Lane Park, as it remains closed while the NFL Experience continues to be torn down.
Masks will be required along the parade route and attendees are being asked to stay socially distanced from other groups.
The following bridges will be temporarily closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic as the parade approaches:
- Laurel Street Bridge
- Cass Street Bridge
- Kennedy Boulevard Bridge
- Brorein Street Bridge
Private boaters are allowed on the Hillsborough River during the parade but must stay at least 50 feet from the vessels taking part in the parade. Violation of the safety zone can result in state criminal charges.
