Blue Moon Lighthouse Climb

The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting a Blue Moon Halloween celebration on Saturday, October 31st, from 7-10 pm in Carrabelle, FL. This fun, family-friendly Halloween event will be held at Crooked River Lighthouse Park. There will be lots of candy on the Keeper’s House porch and a sampling of lanterns from Lantern Fest will be on display. Children and families are encouraged to drop by in their most adorable, creative or spooky costumes. Dave’s Dawg House will be on site selling hot dogs, sausage dogs, boiled peanuts and other snacks. Visitors can enjoy the fire pit (weather permitting). The museum and gift shop will also be open and will feature special Halloween jewelry for guests’ enjoyment.

Whenever there are two full moons in one month, the second one is called a Blue Moon. A Halloween full moon hasn’t appeared in the Eastern Time zone since 1944, according to Farmers’ Almanac.

For those visitors who like a bit of a challenge, evening tower climbs will be available. The tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast provides beautiful views of St. George Sound. For this special evening, climbs for children are free. Adult climbs are $5. (Children must be supervised by an adult. All climbers must be 44 inches or taller. Climbs are available weather permitting.)

Social distancing guidelines will apply. Masks are encouraged for those attending. Guests are encouraged to use hand sanitizer and wash hands frequently. Crooked River Lighthouse is located, just west of the Carrabelle Public Beach Park, at 1975 Hwy 98 West, Carrabelle, FL. For more information, contact 850-697-2732, carrabellelighthouse@gmail.com.
