Fall in Jupiter, Florida: Events to Enjoy Over the Next Few Weeks

Fall in South Florida may not bring crisp temperatures and changing leaves, but Jupiter definitely knows how to celebrate the season. From waterfront festivals and pumpkin patches to live music, Halloween fun and even a few events just for the grown-ups, there is plenty happening around town over the next few weeks.

Whether you’re a Jupiter local, new to the area or just looking for an excuse to get out and explore, here are a few fall events worth adding to your calendar.

Here’s a quick look at where many of this season’s events are happening around Jupiter:

Kick Off the Season at DAStoberfest

Saturday, September 26 | 4–10 PM | Downtown Abacoa

You don’t have to travel to Germany to get into Oktoberfest mode. DAS Beer Garden’s ninth annual DAStoberfest turns Downtown Abacoa into an outdoor block party with German-inspired food, seasonal beers, live entertainment and Oktoberfest traditions, including a stein-holding competition.

The event is free and open to the public, making it an easy Saturday outing with friends before October officially gets underway.

Admission is free with a purchase, or $5 per group or family without a purchase. The Jupiter location is scheduled to remain open through Halloween or until pumpkins sell out.
