In its early years, the city of New Port Richey was slated to become the “Hollywood of the East”! With our centennial coming up, we’ve decided to honor that heritage with the New Port Richey Film Festival! Join us as we showcase the our community’s past, present, and future!

The film festival will feature submissions from local filmmakers, with categories for youth, teens, and adults. The program will also highlight works by Thomas Meighan and Ed Wynn, and will include historical presentations about our city's motion picture past. The New Port Richey Film Festival is presented in partnership with the City of New Port Richey's Cultural Affairs Committee, the Friends of the New Port Richey Public Library, and the New Port Richey Public Library Advisory Board. This event is open to the public at no charge. Seating will be first come, first served.
