November events at Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum kicks off the season by celebrating Veterans, History, and the Holidays!
The annual festive, social ‘Party in Paradise’ returns to the banks of the Jupiter Inlet on November 20th when guests will ‘Rendezvous at the Light’ for the not-to-be-missed waterfront fundraiser benefitting the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, 500 Captain Armours Way, in Jupiter. The sparkling event, with live music, delectable hors d’oeuvres from popular area restaurants, wine and beer, and a magical silent auction, will take place from 6 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. on the historic grounds of the stunning, iconic Lighthouse. Tickets are $125 per person and tables are available. For tickets and information visit https://bit.ly/JILMRATL21.
This is the biggest charity event of the year for the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum with proceeds assisting operations, educational programming, and preservation at the world-class heritage site. `Rendezvous at the Light’ – the signature season event hosted by the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum – attracts guests to its festively lit waterside destination to enjoy a unique party extravaganza and experience. Last year’s `Rendezvous’ was temporarily replaced by the online fundraiser Step Up for the Light due to the pandemic. But this year Rendezvous returns and promises to be the stellar evening everyone has come to anticipate. Step Up for the Light was such a success it is again being offered as an online fundraiser and the public can “Adopt a Lighthouse Step” for 2022.
Guests are always delighted as ‘Rendezvous’ officially begins the holiday season by lighting up the top of the Lighthouse with twinkle-lit garland and bows. Guests sponsoring tables are invited to attend the VIP Pre-Party beginning at 5:00 p.m., specially catered with delicious delights by Tequesta’s EVO restaurant.
