A Little Slice of History
Jupiter’s journey began on February 9, 1925, when it was officially incorporated as a town. Known for its iconic red lighthouse, pristine beaches, and small-town feel, Jupiter has grown from a quaint fishing village into a thriving community that attracts families, adventurers, and sun-seekers alike. But even as it has evolved, Jupiter has never lost its small-town charm or deep-rooted connection to nature and the water.
What’s on Tap for the Big Year?
The Centennial Celebration festivities are shaping up to be an unforgettable mix of nostalgia, community spirit, and just the right amount of Jupiter fl air. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
1. Celebrate at Jupiter Jubilee
Jupiter’s hometown celebration returns better than ever on Saturday, February 8, from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. This year’s Jubilee, which will be held at the Municipal Complex (210 Military Trail), will feature live music, food trucks, local vendors at the business expo, and fun for all ages.
2. Eat Your Way Around Town
Jupiter restaurants and businesses are getting in on the fun by offering discounts and special food items throughout the year. Pick up a Business Partner map, which offers discounts from participating businesses, at Town Hall, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, the Jupiter Branch Library or participating businesses.
