Pumpkin Fest, Fall Fun, and the ML Mobile

There’s something about October in Jupiter that just hits differently. Cooler mornings, golden hour walks, and yes the return of Pumpkin Fest at Harbourside Place!

This year marked the 9th Annual Pumpkin Fest, hosted by the incredible team at Chasin A Dream Foundation, and the Meyer Lucas crew showed up in full fall force. Held on Saturday, October 11th, the event transformed Harbourside into a community-wide celebration packed with family fun, festive activities, and a whole lot of heart.

We’re not just talking about a few pumpkins and a hay bale or two. Pumpkin Fest brought the energy. From live music echoing through the plaza to trick-or-treating along the waterfront, every inch of the space was buzzing. Families lined up for face painting, explored the haunted house, and made their way through more than 50 local vendors offering everything from sweet treats to handmade goods.

For us, it wouldn’t be a community event without the Meyer Lucas Mobile pulling up and parking loud and proud. The ML Mobile has become a recognizable fixture around town, and Pumpkin Fest was no exception. We had games, giveaways, and plenty of chances for kids (and parents) to swing by, say hi, and soak up the vibes with the team.

But what makes this event extra special is the reason behind it. Chasin A Dream Foundation does life-changing work supporting children facing life-threatening illnesses and disabilities, right here in our community. Events like this raise awareness and funds that go directly toward helping local families, and we’re beyond proud to play a small part in that mission.

Pumpkin Fest has always been one of our favorite October traditions, and this year was no different. It’s a reminder of why we love living and working in Jupiter. This community shows up, lifts each other up, and knows how to celebrate the season with heart.

Thank you to Chasin A Dream for putting on another incredible event and to everyone who stopped by the Meyer Lucas booth. We’ll see you again next year, pumpkins and all.
