Two Records for One Parade
The Krewe of the Knights of Sant' Yago has hosted the Illuminated Knight Parade every year since 1974. The parade runs along Seventh Avenue in Ybor City. The krewe page counts more than 100 participating organisations, including marching bands, illuminated floats, local krewes and dignitaries.
The krewe site carries two records for that event, on two cycles. The parade page runs the 2026 edition: February 14th, 2026, a 2026 Grand Marshal and a pre-party dated February 13th of the same year. The events calendar carries the next edition: Saturday, February 13, 2027.
The One Published Clock for 2027
The calendar entry for the Knight Parade reads Saturday, February 13, 2027, from 12:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The structured data on that page carries the same two timestamps with a five-hour offset for Eastern time. The location field in that block is empty.
The parade page puts the step-off near 7 PM. It reads: the parade begins around 7pm on 7th Avenue in Ybor City. That sentence carries no year, and the word around keeps it approximate. For February 13, 2027 the krewe publishes a 12:30 PM start and no step-off time.
The calendar block runs eight hours, from midday to 8:30 PM. Get the step-off in writing before a rate conversation opens.
Bleacher Seats and the One Sentence
The parade page carries an accordion control titled Reserve Knight Parade Bleacher Seats. Opening the control returns one sentence: Thank you for your interest in purchasing bleacher seats for the 2026 Illuminated Knight Parade.
That sentence carries a year, no price, no link and no form. The page holds no dollar figure anywhere. A buyer reading the reservation control reaches the end of the trail at the krewe address and phone number in the footer.
The Party the Night Before
The homepage card reads February 12th, 2027, 7:00pm-11:00pm, at Carmine's in Ybor City, at $25 per person. The same card notes food served from 7-8:30 and a cash bar. The 2026 parade page names the same venue for the 2026 pre-party, on February 13th from 7 PM to 11 PM.
The 2027 calendar entry names Friday, February 12, 2027, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The venue field in that entry reads TBD. One domain carries a two-hour window with the venue marked TBD, and a four-hour window at Carmine's, for the same night.
February 12, 2027 is a Friday and February 13 is a Saturday, so the party and the parade hold a Friday and Saturday pair in the target cycle.
What a Supplier Can Price Against
A published step-off fixes the hours a guest needs the room, and fixed hours give a hotel a rate it can defend. The 2027 record fixes neither the step-off nor the route end. The buyer who wants a defensible rate establishes both before the rate conversation opens.
Three questions go to the krewe in writing. The step-off time for February 13, 2027 and the point where the route ends. The bleacher price and the purchase route for 2027. The venue and the ticket term for the February 12 party.
The contact details on every krewe page are 1913 North Nebraska Ave, Tampa, FL 33602, telephone 813-248-3088, and info@kreweofsantyago.com.
What to Ask the Hotel
The stay is a Friday and a Saturday in February. Four lines belong in the request. The two nights priced separately, so the Saturday rate stands on its own. The walking distance to Seventh Avenue in minutes. The parking charge as its own line. The cancellation date, which the krewe page does not publish for either the parade or the party.
Ask for the pair total and the Saturday rate side by side, and hold the hotel to both figures in one reply.
Where the Request Goes
Florida sits on the restricted list at hotelhaggle.org. The seller-of-travel page, last updated October 22, 2026, records that the company is not registered as a Florida Seller of Travel under Chapter 559, Florida Statutes. The restriction covers Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington, and applies across grouprooms.org, hotelhaggle.org, hotelslots.org, bookmyteam.org and partners.hotelhuddle.com.
A Tampa buyer sends the room request straight to the property. Questions on the rule go to compliance@hotelhuddle.com.
The Record to Hold
The krewe publishes a 2027 date, an eight-hour day window, a contact address and a phone number. It publishes no bleacher price, no purchase route, no step-off time and no party venue for the target cycle. Those four gaps are the working list, and each one closes with a written answer from the krewe.
