It’s the spookiest day of the year and New Port Richey has already been celebrating in style. Among the celebrations we popped in on were the New Port Richey Library’s annual Trick or Treat Parade through City Hall and the adjoining courtyard and the annual Witches and Warlocks Paddle down the Pithlascotee River to the Spring Bayou area in Port Richey.
it’s not over yet though – On Halloween night local businesses will be going all out for the annual Trick or Treat Event in downtown New Port Richey that is sponsored by the local non-profit, Keep Pasco Beautiful.
