Sunday in the City Dad's Day Downtown

New Port Richey, Downtown, FL - Sunday in the City is an opportunity for the community to experience downtown New Port Richey in a new way; a more relaxed, casual, family friendly day out around town. The next Sunday in the City will take place on June 9, the weekend before Father’s Day which gives downtown merchants two weekends to celebrate dads with unique gift and adventure opportunities. The public is invited to head downtown to shop, dine, explore, and experience all the City has to offer. Walking, biking, and golf carts are all great ways to reach the downtown district.

We are getting a head start on celebrating Father's Day this month with Sunday in the City Dads Day Downtown!

The Social NPR (5650 Main Street) has opened since last month and are joining the growing list of businesses in downtown New Port Richey with Sunday hours and will be adding new Sunday in the City promotions in the coming months.
