The Gasparilla Pirate Festival takes place once a year in Tampa, Florida, and it looks absolutely wild.

Footage shot at this year's festivities shows antics ranging from boob-flashing to balloon fights as pirate enthusiasts let their hair down and more.

Babes in tight tops and fishnet stockings descend on Tampa's harbour swigging from champagne bottles, while men don Jack Sparrow style eyeliner to ham it up for the cameras.

The revellers – who all wear traditional pirate bandanas and jewellery – then hop aboard boats to party in the sun and throw water balloons at each other.

As the day wears on – and a day of drinking takes effect – the salty sea dogs turn land lovers and enjoy a huge parade through Tampa's streets.

Pirate ship floats cruise through the crowd as gallon after gallon of beer continues to disappear.

One cheeky woman even flashes her boobs to the camera to celebrate the occasion.

The festival – which takes place in late January each year – started over 100 years ago in 1904 to celebrate a mythical Spanish pirate called Jose Gaspar AKA Gasparilla.

Legend has it that Gaspar was a naval officer who turned to piracy after being exiled from Spain for a romantic scandal.

He is said to have fled to Florida where he built a harbour and then began stealing from ships and taking female hostages.

After 40 years of piracy Gaspar is believed to have taken his own life to avoid capture, shouting final words: "Gasparilla dies by his own hand, not the enemy's!"

The parade is the third largest in the US and brings in a whopping $23 million (£19m) to Tampa each year.

Many Americans are now flocking to Florida, Mexico and other exotic destinations to celebrate Spring Break.

A group of horny college girls revealed their sex-crazed antics in a shocking survey.

And a bevy of semi-naked babes were caught on camera downing shots with a highly unlikely friend.
