Special events can help build a sense of belonging and community pride.  Events should be family friendly and implemented without a negative impact on residents, visitors, area merchants or the City and its parks.  Event guidelines are established to ensure public safety as well as for the protection of our natural resources.

Several meetings were conducted in which stakeholders were invited to participate.  These stakeholders included:  New Port Richey Residents, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, the City Special Event Team, City Non-Profit Event Organizers and Area Merchants. 

Attached are the Alcoholic Beverage Special Event Application, the Special Event Application and the Policy and Procedure Manual for events.  Also attached is a list of recommendations for revisions to the Policies and Procedures Manual that was derived from the meetings with City Council and the stakeholders.
