The parade Wednesday afternoon will be held on the Hillsborough River near downtown Tampa. Mayor Jane Castor is again emphasizing that people attending the parade must wear face masks outdoors and observe social distancing rules.

Many were seen maskless despite the ordinances requiring them. Bucs official Brian Ford says fans should heed the rules.
