Events In and Near The Acreage

Neighborhood gatherings, history in the park and a few big-ticket events nearby.

The Acreage’s own events are homegrown: a Halloween block party at the community park, library programs, horse shows at the equestrian park and community meetings run by the Indian Trail Improvement District and the Acreage Landowners’ Association. Watch their calendars, since these change from year to year.

For larger events, residents head east to Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter. Outdoor programs at Grassy Waters and the county parks fill up in the cooler months, and naturalist-led walks need reservations.
