Follow Jupiter Tide on Instagram, X and Facebook for breaking news and upcoming family events. Here is our day-by-day list of kids' and family events from Monday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 8, in Jupiter, Tequesta, Juno Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. Every listing was checked against the organizer's own page; library programs often cap attendance, so register early where noted. Palm Beach County public schools are closed Tuesday for Election Day (details here), and the National Weather Service has a high rip current risk in place through Tuesday evening, so check the flags before anyone goes in the water (what the beach flags mean). Veterans Day is next Wednesday, Nov. 11; look for those events in next week's list.
