Carlouel Club Events

Developing and fostering new friendships is the cornerstone of any healthy private club.

Social Activities

There is a variety of social activities and options available to get together with friends new and old. You will quickly discover that these relationships are the glue that hold Carlouel together.

A peek into our most popular annual events:

  • Sasparilla
    • Carlouel’s spoof on Tampa’s Gasparilla, Sasparilla stands as one of Carlouel’s oldest traditions. Begun in 1939, the Club has celebrated this tradition every year, with the exception of WWII. Each year a Sasparilla King and Queen are elected from the membership, and they reign over the Club until the following year.
  • Commodores’ Ball
    • New tradition that combines semi-formal dinner with dance as an honor to past Carlouel Commodores.
  • Change of Watch
    • Taking place in early May, this tradition marks the change in leadership at the Club. The new Commodore takes office along with new Board members.
  • Santa Brunch
    • Forget the cookies and milk; join Santa in our Annual Brunch full of pancakes, bacon, and OJ as we celebrate Christmas! Kids will be lining up to sit on Santa’s lap, so don’t forget your cameras!
  • Halloween Party
    • The Werewolves will howl, the monsters will mash! It's time to celebrate, with a Halloween Bash! Come dressed in your spooky best and be ready to party.
