2026 SCHEDULE | Jupiter Golden Jubilee
Friday
5:00pm
Meet at the Amphitheater at Harbourside Place
We'll kick off the weekend with our 2nd Annual Golden Jubilee Parade at Harbourside Place! Following the tremendous success of last year's inaugural parade, we're excited to continue this fun new tradition as Golden Retrievers and their families parade along the waterfront in festive style. Holiday-themed costumes are encouraged, from simple festive attire to elaborate family and group themes. Costumes are entirely optional, and everyone is welcome to join the parade. Prizes will be awarded in several categories. After the parade, gather with fellow Golden lovers for dinner at one of the many pet-friendly restaurants nearby. It's the perfect way to start the celebration—with great food, friends, and furry companions!

The dinner menu will feature a range of hearty sandwiches such as heroes, wraps, chicken Caesar, and vegetarian options, complemented by a variety of cold salads, chips, assorted desserts, and non-alcoholic beverages. Tickets are $30 (children under six eat free), and proceeds benefit the Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida. Join the raffle for a chance to win fantastic prizes—right after dinner! Come just for the fun if you like, but remember: winners must be present to claim their prizes.
