Inside New Port Richey Issue 5, September 6, 2026: family fun night, museum tour, organic market, Mayor's Ball and live music

Inside New Port Richey, Issue #5
September 6, 2026

Good morning, New Port Richey. Sunday looks like the rest of the week: a high near 90 with storms building through the afternoon. Labor Day is more of the same, so plan the outdoor part of the holiday early.

Port Richey's Mayor's Ball tickets come off sale tomorrow at noon, so today is the day to decide. The New Port Richey library is closed Monday for the holiday, and the Chamber put a spotlight on The Hope Shot, the nonprofit behind the recovery center on US 19.

There is more to do today than the feed suggested at first glance. Family Fun Night runs 4 to 7 at Waterfront Park with carnival games and live music, the MAPS Museum has a docent tour at 3, and Kingpin plays Sam's at 3. Enjoy the long weekend.
