Florida · October – April · Pasco County

Ice cream truck rental in Dade City.

Twelve miles north of the winter base: the Kumquat Festival and the Pasco County Fair fill a historic downtown with the daytime family crowd a two-window coach is built for, and the ranch venues around town carry the wedding season between them.

Dade City is the festival town of east Pasco, twelve miles north. The Kumquat Festival brings 30,000 to 40,000 people into a historic downtown in late January, the Pasco County Fair runs the last weekend of February, and the barn venues scattered around town carry the wedding season in between.

The coach is a covered stagecoach with a hand-dipping counter inside it, and Dade City is part of its Florida season, October – April.

What's on around Dade City.

  • The Kumquat Festival — 30,000 to 40,000 people, late January
  • The Pasco County Fair at the Dade City fairgrounds, late February
