Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2026, so the celebrating in Jupiter and the Palm Beaches runs from Thursday night through Sunday. Families have free festivals on the West Palm Beach waterfront and a kid-sized haunted village at the fairgrounds. Adults have a Breakers costume party in Palm Beach, a full Halloween week at West Palm Cowboy Club, Jupiter waterfront bars and the last night of Fright Nights.
This guide covers Halloween weekend from Jupiter to West Palm Beach in three parts: family events, adults-only plans, and the neighborhoods in Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens laid out best for trick-or-treating. For the town festivals that ran earlier in October and trick-or-treating safety tips, see our Halloween in Palm Beach County family guide.

The Kids Zone has face painting, lawn games, kids casting and crafts.
The festival runs 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the West Palm Beach GreenMarket sets up next door that morning, so a costume morning on the water can end with lunch at the market.
The South Florida Fairgrounds' Halloween village for younger kids closes its season this weekend. Families trick-or-treat among the historic buildings of Yesteryear Village, with magic shows, a petting zoo and a light show at 7, 7:30, 8 and 8:30 p.m.

Guanabanas, on the Loxahatchee River: Orbit Divider plays a free Halloween show at 8 p.m. for guests 21 and older.
The neighborhoods that draw the most trick-or-treaters share a layout: homes set close together, connected streets and lit walkways, so kids reach a lot of doors without long stretches between them. These Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens neighborhoods are built that way.
Abacoa is a 2,055-acre master-planned town in southwest Jupiter with a street grid, greenways and more than 4,000 homes across its neighborhoods. Windsor Park, its newest, has lighted sidewalks and homes with wrap-around porches. Charleston Court sits near Downtown Abacoa, so dinner on Main Street before heading out is easy, and Canterbury Place is another Abacoa neighborhood to add to the route. Gate access varies by Abacoa neighborhood, so check the rules for the one you plan to visit.
One change this year: the Haunted Halls of Windsor Park home haunt on Prescott Drive North is taking 2026 off and plans to return in 2027.
The Heights sits between Abacoa and I-95 and is mostly single-family homes, many with backyards. The neighborhood has no HOA and includes basketball and tennis courts, a playground and bike and jogging trails.
Evergrene is a gated community of more than 900 residences around Lake Dorothy. Trick-or-treating there works best for residents and their invited guests, since visitors need to clear the gate. Our guide to gated communities near Jupiter and Tequesta covers how guest access works.
North Palm Beach hosts Boo Village at its community center, where kids trick-or-treat from decorated golf carts.
Homes in Jupiter Farms sit on large lots with long driveways, which makes door-to-door trick-or-treating slow. Town events like the Jupiter Halloween Spooktacular or a friend's street in a denser neighborhood cover more ground.
Dirty Dancing: The Musical runs Oct. 28 through Nov. 1 in Dreyfoos Hall at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. Tickets start at $36 including fees.
Winter Wonderland at The Ben opens Sunday, Nov. 1, for its third season. The outdoor ice rink in downtown West Palm Beach runs daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. through Jan. 3, 2027. Skating is $30 for adults and $15 for children ages 4 to 10.
Several of Palm Beach County's biggest family Halloween events happen earlier in the month. Put these on next year's calendar:
Pumpkin Fest at Harbourside Place in Jupiter, a Chasin A Dream Foundation fundraiser with trick-or-treating at vendor booths
Town of Jupiter Halloween Spooktacular at the Jupiter Community Center, free for all ages, with a Tot Zone and Teal Pumpkin Project treats
Palm Beach Gardens Fall Festival at The Gardens North County District Park, with Trick-or-Treat Street and a Tot Zone
Boo Village in North Palm Beach, with golf-cart trick-or-treating
Pumpkin patches from Tequesta to West Palm Beach, including Mr. Jack O'Lantern's Pumpkins at 419 Lakeview Ave.; see our pumpkin patch guide for the full list
Dates, hours and addresses for the 2026 editions are in our Halloween in Palm Beach County family guide.
