The Tampa Bay Lightning did it. Now it is Tampa Bay privateers‘Turn.
To celebrate their 31-9 victory at Super Bowl LV, the Bucs entered the water for a victory parade that accommodates social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Lightning did the same to celebrate their Stanley Cup win in September.
The Bucs boat parade takes place on the Hillsborough River along the downtown waterfront. Fans can see the parade wearing masks at various points along the river. Check out these highlights.
