About Dade City
Dade City is the Pasco County seat, a historic small city about an hour north of Tampa known as the Kumquat Capital of the World. Its brick-street downtown is lined with antique shops, cafes, and the 1909 courthouse, and the annual Kumquat Festival celebrates the tart citrus every January. The Pioneer Florida Museum & Village preserves cracker-era Florida, while nearby Giraffe Ranch offers safari-style tours — giving the area a distinctly old-Florida, small-town character.
