SUMMARY:Downtown Dine Out
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been meaning to work your way through downtown New Port Richey’s growing restaurant scene\, August hands you the perfect excuse. Downtown Dine Out runs a full week at selected dining establishments throughout the district\, turning seven days into a celebration of the walkable\, waterfront food scene that’s been quietly becoming one of the best reasons to head downtown on any given night. \n\n\n\nWhen: Sunday\, August 16 through Saturday\, August 22\, 2026.Where: Selected restaurants across downtown New Port RicheyCost: Free to participate — menu prices and specials vary by restaurant \n\n\n\nThis isn’t a single ticketed event so much as a week-long invitation — a chance to shop\, dine\, and explore favorite local restaurants and businesses all at once\, with participating spots offering something a little special to mark the occasion. It’s organized through the New Port Richey Main Street program\, the same group behind the ongoing revitalization of spaces like Cavalaire and Railroad Squares. \n\n\n\nBecause it spans an entire week\, it’s an easy one to build a plan around — dinner with friends on a Tuesday\, a casual lunch that weekend\, dessert at one of the ice cream or bakery spots scattered through downtown to close it out. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nDowntown New Port Richey has three free parking options within walking distance of most participating restaurants: the New Port Richey Parking Structure at 6218 US-19 (open 24 hours\, EV charging\, its own downtown trolley)\, the Thomas Meighan lot on Nebraska Ave\, and the Gloria Swanson lot on Bank St. Weekend evenings during Dine Out week draw a bigger dinner crowd than usual downtown — the structure is the safer bet over street parking if you’re going Friday or Saturday night. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nThe exact list of participating restaurants and their specific specials can shift closer to the date — the New Port Richey Main Street website is the place to check right before you go\, rather than assuming every downtown restaurant is automatically in. Not every spot runs a prix-fixe deal; some just offer a smaller special\, so ask when you sit down if you’re going specifically for a Dine Out deal. \n\n\n\nFor the town’s fuller story\, there’s New Port Richey’s almost-Hollywood history.

SUMMARY:Rated 'M' for MAGIC — Cory Van Valin
DESCRIPTION:Cory Van Valin\, a four-time Best of the Bay winner with credits on ABC7\, Fox 13\, CW44 and PBS\, brings large-scale illusions with comedy and audience work — billed as “Rated M\,” meaning the grown-up version of a magic show rather than a family matinee. Comedian Ginger Kelly opens. It’s an 18-and-up show\, roughly two hours. \n\n\n\nWhen: Friday\, August 21\, 2026. Doors 7:15 p.m.\, show 8 p.m.Where: Richey Suncoast Theatre\, 6237 Grand Blvd\, New Port Richey\, FL 34652Cost: $25 general admission\, $35 preferred seating\, plus tax and fees \n\n\n\nOne detail that says something about the room: Van Valin stays afterward at the merch booth for photos\, which isn’t standard practice and is the kind of thing a small nonprofit venue can offer that a touring arena show can’t. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nNo dedicated theatre lot\, but three free options are within walking distance: the New Port Richey Parking Structure at 6218 US-19 (24 hours\, EV charging\, its own downtown trolley)\, the Thomas Meighan lot on Nebraska Ave\, and the Gloria Swanson lot on Bank St. A Friday night show means downtown restaurant traffic is also building — leave buffer time before an 8 p.m. curtain. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nBring ID — it’s strictly 18-and-up\, unusual for a magic show and worth knowing before you plan a date night around it expecting a family-friendly format. Two ticket tiers exist (general admission and preferred seating)\, so pick based on how close you want to be rather than assuming one price fits all. Box office hours are Wednesday through Saturday\, noon to 5 p.m.\, plus 45 minutes before the show; call (727) 842-6777 outside that window. \n\n\n\nIt’s a one-night booking\, not a run — and the rest of Richey Suncoast’s August lineup is here.

SUMMARY:The Seger Experience — Bob Seger Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Richey Suncoast Theatre’s August lineup leans hard into classic rock\, and The Seger Experience is the one built for anybody who grew up with a gravelly\, heartland voice coming out of the car radio. The tribute act brings its full-band recreation of Bob Seger’s catalog to the historic downtown New Port Richey stage — the kind of “Night Moves\,” “Turn the Page\,” “Old Time Rock and Roll” set list that turns a Saturday night into a singalong. \n\n\n\nWhen: Saturday\, August 22\, 2026\, 7 p.m. Doors 6:15 p.m.Where: Richey Suncoast Theatre\, 6237 Grand Blvd\, New Port Richey\, FL 34652Cost: Price not posted on the venue’s own listing as of publication \n\n\n\nThe band is fronted by vocalist Dan Styer\, backed by an eight-piece lineup that the theatre bills as bringing “the legendary sound\, passion\, and Detroit soul of Bob Seger” to the stage — a fuller horn-and-rhythm-section setup than a lot of tribute acts bother with\, which matters for a catalog built as much on Seger’s Silver Bullet Band arrangements as on his voice. \n\n\n\nRichey Suncoast Theatre itself is worth the trip regardless of who’s on stage. It’s a nonprofit\, community-run performing arts venue in downtown New Port Richey that’s been the local home for touring tribute acts\, musicals\, and community theater productions alike — an intimate house where\, as with the theatre’s other August shows (Woodstock 69 Tribute on the 15th\, Completely Unchained’s Van Halen tribute on the 28th)\, there’s genuinely not a bad seat. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nNo dedicated theatre lot\, but three free options sit within walking distance: the New Port Richey Parking Structure at 6218 US-19 (open 24 hours\, EV charging\, its own downtown trolley)\, the Thomas Meighan lot on Nebraska Ave\, and the Gloria Swanson lot on Bank St. Saturday night downtown is busy with restaurant and bar traffic on top of the show crowd — give yourself real time before a 7 p.m. curtain. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nThe theatre’s own event listing for this specific show doesn’t post a ticket price the way it does for its other August shows (several of which run $31–$42). Rather than guess\, the best move is to check the “Buy Tickets” link on the show’s listing or call the box office directly before you plan the night. Box office hours are Wednesday through Saturday\, noon to 5 p.m.\, plus 45 minutes before the show; call (727) 842-6777.

SUMMARY:Cornhole Tournament — Dade City
DESCRIPTION:Dade City runs a cornhole tournament every second and fourth Sunday of the month\, split across two spots a short walk apart — cash prizes on the line at both Beef O’Brady’s and the Dade City Tap House & Spirits. It’s a casual\, walk-in-friendly kind of afternoon: bring a partner if you’ve got one\, or show up solo and see who’s around. Either way\, it’s a good excuse to post up at a bar with a low-key crowd and actually do something instead of just watching whatever’s on the TV. \n\n\n\nWhen: Sunday\, August 23\, 2026 (2nd and 4th Sunday of every month)\, 1 p.m.Where: Beef O’Brady’s Dade City\, 14136 7th St.\, and Dade City Tap House & Spirits\, 37916 Pasco Ave.\, Dade CityCost: Free to watch; entry fee not published — check the bar’s Facebook page for this month’s bracket signup \n\n\n\nThe Tap House side of it pairs a real cigar selection with its liquor and beer list — a combination more common in Tampa than in Pasco County\, and part of what makes this stretch of downtown Dade City read differently from the rest of the county. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nDowntown Dade City is small and walkable — both venues sit within the historic downtown grid near 7th Street and Meridian Avenue\, with street parking and small lots typical of the district. It’s a much quieter parking situation than downtown New Port Richey on a weekend; a Sunday afternoon tournament crowd is rarely enough to fill the street. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nNeither venue publishes an exact entry fee or bracket format online as of this writing — check each bar’s Facebook page or call ahead if you want to actually sign up and compete rather than just watch. Since the tournament splits across two locations\, confirm which one you’re headed to before you go; showing up to the wrong bar on the wrong Sunday is an easy mistake in a two-venue setup like this. \n\n\n\nFor the fuller story on this stretch of downtown\, there’s the Dade City town guide.

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Tommy Awards
DESCRIPTION:It’s the one show on Richey Suncoast’s August calendar that isn’t a touring act passing through — a New Port Richey night about New Port Richey people\, and at under twelve dollars\, the cheapest ticket in the building after the movie screening. That’s the 3rd Annual Tommy Awards\, a local talent and community awards night now in its third year. \n\n\n\nWhen: Sunday\, August 23\, 2026. Doors 5 p.m.\, ceremony 6 p.m.Where: Richey Suncoast Theatre\, 6237 Grand Blvd\, New Port Richey\, FL 34652Cost: $11.75 \n\n\n\nThe earlier 5 p.m. doors are the actual draw\, not just a formality: light bites from local eateries\, a cash bar\, and time to actually talk to the board\, staff and volunteers who run the place before the 6 p.m. ceremony starts. The ceremony itself includes live performances pulled from the season\, not just an awards read-off. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nNo dedicated theatre lot\, but three free options sit within walking distance: the New Port Richey Parking Structure at 6218 US-19 (24 hours\, EV charging\, its own downtown trolley)\, the Thomas Meighan lot on Nebraska Ave\, and the Gloria Swanson lot on Bank St. Sunday evening downtown is typically quieter than a Friday or Saturday\, so parking is the easiest of any show on this month’s calendar. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nCome for the 5 p.m. doors\, not just the 6 p.m. ceremony — the pre-show hour with local food and the people who actually run the venue is the part regulars come back for. This is a community night\, not a polished touring production\, and that’s the appeal rather than a caveat. Box office hours are Wednesday through Saturday\, noon to 5 p.m.\, plus 45 minutes before an event; call (727) 842-6777 outside that window\, though a Sunday event may be easiest to confirm by phone ahead of time. \n\n\n\nThe rest of Richey Suncoast’s August lineup is here.

SUMMARY:Completely Unchained — Van Halen Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Richey Suncoast Theatre closes out its rock-heavy August calendar the way it should — loud. Completely Unchained: The Ultimate Van Halen Tribute takes the historic downtown New Port Richey stage for a full-throttle run through one of rock’s most technically demanding catalogs\, six days after The Seger Experience plays the same room. \n\n\n\nWhen: Friday\, August 28\, 2026\, 8 p.m. Doors 7:15 p.m.Where: Richey Suncoast Theatre\, 6237 Grand Blvd\, New Port Richey\, FL 34652Cost: $31–$42 plus tax and fees; VIP box seating $177 \n\n\n\nThe band splits the difference between Van Halen’s two eras rather than picking a lane: Gene “Little Geno” Henriksen handles the David Lee Roth-era showmanship on vocals\, Jake C. Miller takes on Eddie Van Halen’s famously hard-to-replicate “brown sound” on guitar\, Clint Ettore covers Michael Anthony’s bass and backing vocals\, and Ronnie Sciascia holds down Alex Van Halen’s drum parts. Expect the set to move between both lineups’ hits — “Jump\,” “Panama\,” and “Hot for Teacher” among them. \n\n\n\nIt’s a genuinely tall order for a tribute act — Van Halen’s guitar work in particular is the kind of material that separates a competent cover band from one that can actually pull the songs off — and landing it in a roughly 250-seat historic theater rather than an arena means the guitar tone and drum fills are close enough to actually hear cleanly\, which is part of why Richey Suncoast has built a reputation as one of Pasco County’s more reliable spots for this exact kind of high-energy tribute night. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nNo dedicated theatre lot\, but three free options sit within walking distance: the New Port Richey Parking Structure at 6218 US-19 (open 24 hours\, EV charging\, its own downtown trolley)\, the Thomas Meighan lot on Nebraska Ave\, and the Gloria Swanson lot on Bank St. This is the last show of the theatre’s August run and a Friday night\, so expect the fullest crowd of the month — arrive well before an 8 p.m. curtain. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nBook through richeysuncoasttheatre.com rather than a resale site — a $31–$42 ticket carries proportionally steep resale fees\, and the theatre asks patrons to buy direct. Box office hours are Wednesday through Saturday\, noon to 5 p.m.\, plus 45 minutes before the show; call (727) 842-6777 outside that window.

SUMMARY:Pasco Flea Fest
DESCRIPTION:Beaded bracelets and pickled okra sit next to vintage comic books\, stained glass\, and seasonal wreaths at this one — a fairgrounds-scale flea market\, confirmed directly on the event organizer’s own site\, Community Markets & Events. It’s billed as a bigger version of the market’s last outing this past April\, with more vendor space and more variety across tarp spots\, tents\, and tailgate spaces\, plus a dedicated food vendor and food truck section this time around. \n\n\n\nWhen: Saturday\, November 28\, 2026\, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.Where: Pasco County Fairgrounds\, 36722 County Road 52\, Dade City\, FL 33525Cost: No shopper admission fee published as of this writing — vendor spots run $40 (standard tarp\, table\, or tent) to $60 (tailgate or indoor space) \n\n\n\nMark the calendar now if you’re thinking about setting up rather than just shopping: flea markets like this tend to fill vendor space well before the date. \n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\nParking at the Pasco County Fairgrounds is free. It’s a large fairgrounds property built to handle the annual county fair\, so a flea market crowd — even a big one — isn’t likely to strain capacity the way it would at a smaller downtown venue. \n\n\n\nOne thing to know before you go\n\n\n\nNo general admission price for shoppers turned up in the organizer’s own listing as of publication — it’s likely free to browse based on how these markets are typically run\, but confirm at the gate rather than assuming. This is also a late-November event on an outdoor fairgrounds property; Florida late fall afternoons are mild but the fairgrounds offer limited shade\, so dress for sun regardless of the season. \n\n\n\nFor the county seat this market calls home\, there’s the Dade City town guide.
