Help the Tampa Bay Fascinators Bring Joy Across the Globe
What started as a group of women who simply loved to dance has grown into something much more—a community, a sisterhood, and a source of joy for everyone we encounter.
The Tampa Bay Fascinators are a vibrant tapestry of women from all walks of life, united by a shared passion for dance and a commitment to lifting one another up. Through every parade, performance, and community event, we strive to create something meaningful—not just for ourselves, but for the people who watch us, cheer for us, and feel inspired by the energy we bring.
Today, we have been given an extraordinary opportunity.
The Fascinators have been officially accepted into the Federation of European Carnival Cities (FECC) and invited to perform in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ireland in 2027. This is more than a trip—it is a chance to represent our community, share our passion on an international stage, and bring our message of inclusion, joy, and connection across the world.
Our mission has always been to create a welcoming space where every woman—regardless of background, experience, or financial situation—has the opportunity to dance, grow, and belong. We proudly keep our organization free of charge so that no one is turned away from participating in something that brings them confidence, friendship, and purpose.
Because of that commitment, we are asking for your help.
Traveling to Ireland is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it also comes with significant costs. Our goal is to raise funds to help offset travel expenses so that every dancer who has poured her heart into this team has the chance to be part of this incredible experience—regardless of financial circumstances.
When you support the Fascinators, you are not just helping us travel—you are investing in:
A community that uplifts and empowers women
A team that brings joy and positivity to every space we enter
A mission rooted in inclusion, confidence, and connection
And now, you have the chance to help us carry that mission across the ocean.
From local parades to the streets of Ireland, we want to continue doing what we love most—bringing people together through movement, music, and joy.
Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and helping make this dream possible.
With gratitude,
The Tampa Bay Fascinators
