How To Get A Free Uber Ride In Jupiter On July 4th

Fireworks

Kool 105.5 hopes to see you in Delray Beach for the city's July 4th celebration, along Atlantic Avenue at A1A.

There is a full day of events, culminating with fireworks at 9 p.m.

But if you are in other areas of the county on Independence Day, or elsewhere in South Florida, Click Here for a list of events.

They include a 4th of July celebration at Harbourside Place in Jupiter, featuring a Jimmy Buffet tribute.

There may be some confusion, if you've heard the news about the shopping and dining complex and its fight with the town over thousands of dollars in fines.

Harbourside management confirmed to me that the Town of Jupiter issued them a permit for the Independence Day event, but the complex has canceled all of the rest of their events for the year, until they can get the situation figured out.

Meanwhile, Jupiter has partnered with Uber to allow for free rides if your trip to your July 4th festivities either starts or ends in the town.

It's a pilot program which had the town setting aside $3,000 to cover up to $15 per round-trip. The town estimates this could cover upwards of 200 rides total.

Here's how to get the credit in your Uber account:

1) Open your Uber app

2) Go to the main menu on the left side of your screen

3) Click on ‘Payment’

4) Click on ‘PIN/Gift Code’ button

5) Type in the code J4JUP2019 and click ‘Add’

The code will remain active until July 5 or until the money is used up in the pilot program.
