Cruise-In Car Show

Taking over the middle of downtown the first Saturday of every month, Dade City's popular Cruise-In offers auto enthusiasts of all stripes the chance to peruse classic machines, grab a bite of greasy grub and keep the kids up way past bedtime.

More fun and a lot cheaper than a your typical parking garage.

Little Everglades Steeplechase

Every spring a certain breed of area resident

flocks to this highfalutin dog & pony show

to flaunt their Sunday brims, imbibe of fancy liquors

and enjoy yet another excuse to publicly groom,

sniff and buss each other's perfumed, well-to-do bungholes.

Pricey and often uncomfortably hot,

personally we'd rather eat catshit.

Will McLean Festival

Annual, weekend-long get-together at the rural Sertoma Youth Ranch northwest of town features a bevy of Florida-based folk musicians, open containers and the occasional sample of a friendly neigbor's homegrown smokey treat.
