Ilya Goldberg's Guavaween Solution
Owner of the Stone Soup Company on E Seventh Avenue
The solution is simple:
Guavaween worked best when it was a party.
Merchants who complain about a party in Ybor shouldn't be in Ybor.
"They can go to Westchase, or up to Wesley Chapel,
and set up shop on a nice, quiet street,"

"For years, Guavaween worked as an adult-based event, a big party, and a good time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that," he said.
"It's one night. We wake up, we have a hangover, we clean up and move on."
"It's one night. We wake up, we have a hangover, we clean up and move on."
"It was just so dead," said Megan Hixon, assistant general manager at
Green Iguana Bar & Grill.
"There was nothing going on," said Evan Schiller, part-owner of
Gaspar's Grotto.

Guavaween use to get 60,000 to 80,000 Partiers
for booze, beads and exposed breasts
In the 2000s, in response to complaints that had made the event too raunchy,
Guavaween organizers started making changes.
They got rid of motorized floats for the parade, then ditched the parade altogether.....more
Is there a right wing conspiracy in the Ybor City Chamber?
DFA Night School
Last
week's Supreme Court ruling was a body blow
to our democracy.
The super-wealthy
think they can buy our elections with
fancy TV ads and giant super PACs. Going door-to-door, actually talking to voters one-on-one, is how grassroots
organizers like you will make our people beat their money -- and how we'll elect
progressive champions together this November. --

Ybor Chamber To License Guavaween
The Ybor City Chamber of Commerce is considering licensing its nationally-known Halloween event, Guavaween, to a third party for 2014. "We think it's time for the Chamber to spin-off this unique special event,"
said David Alvarez, Chair of the Ybor City Chamber.
The Chamber's Guavaween is now in its 28th year. This celebration has been an Ybor institution for almost most three decades; long enough to build a significant national reputation. outside of the district. Guavaween's very colorful and somewhat naughty reputation is a 22nd century phenomena with a web presence that is "larger than life." The creators of Ybor's Guavaween were ahead of their time, capitalizing on what has become the second most commercialized holiday in America.
If you are interested in putting together a proposal to compete to license the rights to Guavaween 2014 and beyond, submit a Letter of Inquiry to the Chamber at
Please, no phone calls at this time.
