🫶 We got your back

Play: When the backyard jungle gym starts to lose its charm, Jupiter’s beaches and parks become a playground of paddleboard safaris and splashy slides. These fun adventures will keep your kiddos busy and spare you another “I’m bored” meltdown.

Garden: Use these seasonal planting tips to take advantage of subtropical weather, so you can pinch off juicy strawberries in January and pull crisp lettuce from the soil in December. You’ll have fresh produce on your table all year long.

Books: It’s easier than you think to start a neighborhood book club. Follow these simple steps to swap stories and make new friends in no time.

Wine: Whether you’re a casual sipper who still calls everything “red or white” or the friend who won’t shut up about tannins and terroir, Rembar pours the good stuff. Come for the glass (or bottle), stay for the vibe that makes weeknights feel like weekends.

Home: Labor Day means special deals on all sorts of things, and American Home Shield’s warranty coverage is no exception. For a limited time, they’re offering 50% off select plans than cover your big ticket appliances (yup, even the ones older than dirt).

This weekend

🏹 Open Range Archery @ Riverbend Park | Saturday (8/30) at 9:30am – If you’ve already nailed basic archery, team up with USA Archery certified pros at Riverbend Park to hone your aim and notch a bull’s eye.

🕺 90’s Rewind featuring Baby Cham | Sunday (8/31) at 4:00pm – Take a break from your routine and teleport to 90’s Rewind, where Baby Cham will have you swaying to all the reggae classics you forgot you knew.

Next week

🍂 Tropical Fall Afternoon @ Tiki 52 Bar & Grill | Monday (9/1) – Look, we’re not in the Caribbean, but when acoustic soul meets fall foliage by the water, denial never looked so good.

🏠️ Price is right – Jupiter edition

How it works: We’re going to give you some facts about a home for sale, including a picture of the outside, the kitchen, and one additional room. Your job? Guess how much it’s listed for (preferably before you click to find out).

Key West vibes meet Jupiter cool in this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath stunner perched on 78 feet of deep-water canal. The dock runs nearly the length of the backyard, complete with electric, water, and a 13,500 lb boat lift—no fixed bridges between you and the Atlantic. Inside, wide-plank wood floors, a showstopper quartz waterfall island, and Signature Kitchen Suite appliances bring the party to the kitchen, while a dedicated bar area with wine cooler keeps the good times flowing.

Rebuilt in 1995 and fully revamped in 2022, the home blends impact glass, a metal roof, and motorized blinds for a modern edge. Two new A/C units, a tankless gas water heater, and a 250-gallon propane tank keep things cool and efficient. All this, right in the heart of Jupiter’s most coveted boating community.
