Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and the days leading up to it have a few low-key picks for Jupiter families.
Tuesday: Spooky Paper Crafts at the library
The Jupiter Branch Library hosts a free after-school craft hour from 3 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 27 for kids ages 5 to 10. Registration is required, and the library asks families to sign up only the children taking part. Seats were still open as of Sunday.
Friday: A trunk-or-treat built for every kid
Emma's Place and Project Hope Autism Services are hosting their second annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Project Hope's space on Military Trail. The organizers say the evening is planned with special needs families in mind, with decorated trunks and a sensory-conscious setting. Costumes are optional, and so is saying "trick or treat." Admission is free. The organizers ask families to RSVP "Going" on the event's Facebook listing so they know how many to expect.
After the candy: Recycle the wrappers
Most candy wrappers can't go in a home recycling bin. Loggerhead Marinelife Center's Unwrap the Waves program collects them through Nov. 14. Families can drop wrappers at the center in Juno Beach, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Library craft | Tue., Oct. 27, 3–4 p.m., Jupiter Branch Library, 705 Military Trail. Free; ages 5–10; registration required |
Trunk or Treat | Fri., Oct. 30, 6–8 p.m., Project Hope Autism Services, 1701 Military Trail, Suite 142. Free; all families |
Wrapper drop-off | Through Nov. 14, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, 14200 U.S. Highway 1, Juno Beach. Free |
