The Town of Jupiter and the Village of Tequesta are nestled between Palm Beach Gardens and Stuart. Both areas cater to the outdoor style, as they wrap around the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal Waterway, which provide incomparable views to residents. For this reason, water sports and boating are abundant. Jupiter and Tequesta also offer their share of championship golf courses and pristine beaches frequented often under consistently sunny skies.

This weekend, the Jupiter-Tequesta Rotary Club is hosting the Juno Beach Craft Festival.

This will be the 17th year for this popular event, and gives residents and visitors a chance to stroll along the ocean while browsing local art of all kinds. Admission is free, and the show will be set up along A1A in Juno Beach.

The 17th Annual Juno Beach Craft Festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, November 10th and 11th 2018, from 10 AM to 5 PM.
