Today's Tide: Things to Do in Jupiter on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026

Sunday wraps Jupiter's fall festival weekend under sunny skies. The Galbani Feast of Little Italy closes at Abacoa with Franco Corso on the main stage at 5 p.m., Downtown at the Gardens finishes its free art festival, and both the Palm Beach Gardens GreenMarket and the Market at Harbourside Place run their usual Sunday hours. Families can stack the GreenMarket with the renovated Burns Road playground, climb the lighthouse, visit Loggerhead's sea turtle hospital in Juno Beach, or stop by Manatee Lagoon before peak manatee season starts later this month. The Maltz closes its run of "Orphans" with a 2 p.m. matinee.

Weather: The National Weather Service forecast for Jupiter calls for a sunny Sunday with a high near 83 and a light north breeze. A Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect through 9 a.m. EST Monday, Nov. 9, so low-lying roads and docks near the water may see some flooding around high tide. The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County's swim advisory still covers DuBois Park, DuBois Snorkel Lagoon and Jupiter Beach Park. The beach at the Jupiter Civic Center remains closed, and the town has cancelled all Civic Center reservations for November and December.

Palm Beach Gardens' year-round Sunday market fills the City Hall Municipal Campus with produce, dairy, honey, pastries, prepared foods, flowers, cheeses, spices and handmade crafts. This week's live music is Chase Stites. Stop by the Meals on Wheels booth to learn about the program, and get a free blood pressure screening at the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center booth near the stage. Seating is provided. Rain or shine; leave pets at home.

A free outdoor yoga class with Yoga Joint sits next to the GreenMarket at Veterans Plaza Amphitheater. Bring a mat and water.

Howard Alan Events closes its second annual Downtown Palm Beach Gardens Art Festival on the Green Space at Downtown at the Gardens. The free outdoor show features juried artists with sculpture, paintings, jewelry, glass and photography, with artists working their own booths. Sunday is the final day.

A curated waterfront Sunday market lines Dockside Circle at Harbourside Place with local makers, specialty foods, art, apparel, wellness finds and home goods. The vendor mix changes week to week. The market is free, stroller-friendly and weather-dependent; cancellations are posted on Harbourside's social channels. Free parking is available in the North and South garages.

Florida's long-running Italian street festival closes its three-day run at Abacoa Town Center with food vendors, a cooking stage, shopping, live entertainment and a family fun area. Sunday's main-stage headliner is Franco Corso at 5 p.m. Admission and parking are free; food, rides and games cost extra. The organizers encourage lawn chairs and say coolers and large bags or backpacks are not allowed. Bring cash — the festival says there are no ATMs on site, and only some vendors take cards.

The Maltz closes its season opener, Lyle Kessler's "Orphans," with a Sunday matinee. Two brothers living on their own in a run-down Philadelphia rowhouse kidnap a man, and their captive ends up changing their lives. The theatre warns that the play contains adult language and depictions of racial prejudice.

Start at the GreenMarket for produce, pastries, crafts and live music, then walk kids across Burns Road to the renovated Burns Road Community Center playground. The playground has shade sails, tall play towers, a fenced play area and a separate tot lot. City parks and the market do not allow pets (service animals excepted).

A free outdoor art show is an easy stroll for families: sculpture, paintings, jewelry, glass and photography with artists on site. Final day.

The festival's family fun area, food vendors, gelato and live entertainment make Sunday a full day for kids as well as adults. Admission is free. Char Mar Dance Studio is on the main stage at noon.

Climb Jupiter's 1860 lighthouse, walk the grounds and use the smartphone tour app, including a Charlie Pierce tour for kids. Climbers must be at least 48 inches tall and able to climb unassisted; children under 16 need an adult. U.S. veterans get in free all of November. Guided tours run Tuesday through Friday in season, so Sunday is a self-guided visit day.

The sea turtle hospital and coastal campus in Juno Beach are open Sunday with free admission. Daily Discovery Shows in the outdoor amphitheater cover sea turtles, sharks, coastal habitats and conservation; check the day's posted times when you arrive. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. No pets and no outside food or beverages on campus.

Hands-on exhibits about Florida manatees and the Lake Worth Lagoon are free, with free on-site parking. Peak manatee viewing season runs Nov. 15 through March 31, so spotting wild manatees from the observation deck is not guaranteed this early — but the indoor exhibits are open. Pets, fishing and swimming are not allowed. The upstairs observation deck can close for private events; Nov. 8 is not on the posted closure list.
