Fall in Jupiter is less about hayrides and more about the waterfront. The season’s biggest event is HarbourFest, a free two-day country music and food festival at Harbourside Place on Oct. 16-17. A church pumpkin patch festival follows on Oct. 24, and the town’s Halloween events fill in the rest of the month.

Jupiter HarbourFest, Oct. 16-17

It is produced by the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce, hosted by the Town of Jupiter and presented by Jupiter Medical Center. General admission is free; organizers encourage reserving free tickets ahead because some experiences have limited space. Paid tickets are $50 for the Friday night tastings experience and $100 for VIP, which adds one day of festival admission and the VIP hospitality area.
