Gibsonton Real Estate Market

About Gibsonton

Gibsonton, Florida, also affectionately known as Showtown USA by those in-the-know in the outdoor amusement industry, is considered the “Holy Grail” of carnival fans; the area called “Gibtown” by fans and locals has inspired books, fan-zines and even a documentary movie of the same name.

Why all the fuss?
The community of Gibsonton, bordered by Tampa Bay on the west and U.S 41 on the east, has unique zoning laws that allow carnival performers to keep carnival booths, rides, and animals on their property- thus it’s not extraordinary to awake in the morning to elephants, lions, and cotton candy or other colorful carnival booths on your neighbors’ lawns.
