What’s What New Port Richey
If keeping your money local is a habit or one you’ve been meaning to take on, you might want to head out to one of the local markets held on weekends at various locations in Pasco County and beyond.
Community Markets and Events, a long-time advertiser and supporter of What’s What New Port Richey, brings together a variety of area entrepreneurs who set up their wares at markets that pop up for a few hours in your neighborhood, your local park, or at a local business.
It’s a fine way to get out and about in your community. Maybe pick up a gift. Something for yourself. Get some street corn in a cup, freshly squeezed lemonade, or grab a bite from the food trucks and booths on site.
If you’re looking to start a side hustle or dip a toe in selling, check out information on how to become a vendor at the Community Markets and Events, “How to become a vendor” section here, or visit communitymarketsandevents.com
