Graphic: Jupiter Tide
By Jupiter Tide Staff
Halloween isn't even here yet, but the Town of Jupiter has already posted its holiday plans for families. Here's what's coming and when.
Letters to Santa: Nov. 23 to Dec. 12
Kids can write to Santa through the Town's recreation department, and Santa writes back. Mail or drop off letters at:
Dear Santa
c/o Town of Jupiter Community Center, Recreation Department
200 Military Trail
Jupiter, FL 33458
The Town also has an online "e-Santa Letter" form on its Santa Letters page: https://www.jupiter.fl.us/653/Santa-Letters. Include your child's full name and mailing address so the reply can find its way home. Get letters in early. The Town's page gives slightly different dates: its header lists Nov. 23 to Dec. 12, while the text says letters are accepted through Dec. 13 and must arrive by a Dec. 14 deadline. To be safe, aim for Dec. 12.
Holiday Tree Lighting: Friday, Dec. 4, 5 to 7 p.m.
The Town's annual tree lighting moves to a new spot this year: the Town Green at the Jupiter Municipal Campus, 210 Military Trail, after construction on the campus. Expect performances by local schools, music, a countdown to the lighting, a giveaway and food vendors, including June Coffee, Sunset Slush, Chick-fil-A and Bunnboh Churros. The Town's event page doesn't list an admission price; call the Community Center to confirm. It's family friendly, but the Town asks you to leave pets at home. Parking and a site map are on the event page: https://www.jupiter.fl.us/2549/Tree-Lighting-Ceremony
There's Snow Place Like Jupiter: Saturday, Dec. 12, 4 to 7 p.m.
The Town trucks in 32 tons of real snow for its hometown winter event at Abacoa Community Park, 1501 Frederick Small Road. There's also a winter village, a meet-and-greet with Santa and Mrs. Claus, bounce houses, a DJ and food vendors. Admission is free. Event page: https://www.jupiter.fl.us/1703/Theres-Snow-Place-Like-Jupiter
Tip for snow day: pack a change of clothes and a towel for little ones. It's still Florida, and melted snow is just cold water.
