Issue #1 · Thursday, Oct 29, 2026
Welcome to issue #1. Tonight the Town Council takes up the Sperry hotel-and-marina plan by the Inlet. Halloween lands Saturday, and the clocks fall back Sunday. If you only do one thing: climb the lighthouse for the Halloween sunrise. Every pick links to its source, so check times before you go.

First readings on the 10.5-acre site at 961 and 997 N A1A: a hotel, condos, restaurant, retail and marina, with several waiver requests. 5.5 acres would go to conservation, but the Riverwalk piece would shrink from 535 to 142 feet. Public comment is allowed.
Ordinance 30-26 would move a zoning boundary so the Sperry land can be rezoned, and would cap buildings along the Inlet at one story (two with a Council waiver).
The pop-up patch closes for the season on Halloween. Open until 9pm, with photo spots and games.
Back-room stand-up with prizes for the best (and worst) costume. 21+.
Climb the lighthouse at first light and watch the sun come up over the Atlantic. Register ahead.
Costumed skaters and scooter riders compete for prizes in every age group.
An all-ages set from Tasty Vibrations Trio 3–6pm, then a 21+ party with Orbit Divider at 8.
Ages 0–6, with a visit from one of the resident animals. No RSVP needed.
A women's run club: meet at the juicery, run 5K on the beach, then coffee.
A Halloween-morning fundraiser walk. Sign up through the team page.
Just north of town: produce and local vendors every Saturday morning.
The 16th year, with a kids' mile, a free 100-yard dash and a silent auction. Packet pickup is tonight 4:30–6 at Bikes Palm Beach. The price goes up after Oct 31.
The Sunday waterfront market, with yoga out front at 9:30. Use the extra hour well.
All levels, under the big ficus tree. Bring a mat. It's earlier now that it gets dark sooner (an old listing still says 7).
105 steps to sunset over the Inlet, now at 5pm after the time change. Weather permitting.
Sunset yoga with adoptable dogs from Furry Friends, which gets the proceeds. Yappy hour at Jupiter Grill after.
Lyle Kessler's play about two brothers whose kidnapping plot goes sideways. Adult language. Check the box office for show times.
A weekly 5K run or walk. Show up at 6:20.
A cheap, easy Election Day dinner.
Mangrove & The Fiddle King, plus dinner specials.

The old Taylor Farmhouse Cafe site is becoming a family restaurant with a live-music stage, with a coffee shop and market to follow. The target is the end of 2026. A quiet week for openings otherwise: know of one? Hit reply.
Bring photo and signature ID. Mail ballots are due by 7pm Tue 11/3 at the main office (5pm at branches). Wait times are posted at VotePalmBeach.gov.
On Election Day you vote at your own precinct. Look it up with the Precinct Finder.
Up to $280M in county parks bonds, up to $175M in library bonds, and whether to keep the school district's 1-mill tax from 2027 to 2031. These figures match the official sample ballot.
The statewide measure raises the homestead exemption. On Oct. 20 the town joined the county League of Cities in opposing it over lost property-tax revenue. Vice-Mayor Choy voted no.
A $95,375 work order to study a seawall repair and a flushing channel at the park was on the Oct. 20 agenda. The meeting summary doesn't record a vote yet.
That's the week. Forward this to your neighbor with the boat. And reply with the best costume you see this weekend: our favorite gets a shoutout next Thursday.
Put your business in front of people who actually live near it. Sponsor spots in The Jupiter Thursday go to local shops, restaurants and services, one clear message, no pop-ups.
