Blues & BBQ Full Moon

Looking for a break from Christmas music? Warm up with some tunes to get you through the winter season at a special Blues & BBQ full moon event at Crooked River Lighthouse on Sunday, December 15, from 6:00-9:00 pm ET in Carrabelle, FL. This outdoor event will feature live Blues music from the talented “Blues Meets Girl”, a glowing bonfire, and a delicious BBQ meal. Visitors can enjoy the natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach under the glow of the sunset and rising Cold Moon. Bring a chair and enjoy the evening.

Powerful musical duo, Blues Meets Girl, is a collaboration of British Blues veteran Mr. Downchild and Texas born singer/songwriter Kasimira. These two bold artists weave their separate influences together to create down-home, smokin’, sexy blues music at its best. Listeners can feel and relate to the soulful and passionate songs, as well as their unique renditions of the classics by Muddy Waters, Etta James, Big Mama Thorton, Elmore James and more. Blues Meets Girl is bonafide Blues thru and thru.

Visitors can enjoy an after-hours tour of the Keeper’s House Museum and see the exhibit of the lighthouse’s original, historic Fresnel lens constructed in 1894 in Paris, France. Guests can browse the unique nautical gifts and souvenirs in the gift shop. Visitors may also enjoy the glowing bonfire in the park (weather permitting).

For this special event, admission tickets are required. Purchase early and save—tickets are $17 if bought by December 11, or $22 from December 12 until they sell out. Admission includes live music, bonfire, a delicious BBQ plate (choice of pork or chicken), and after-hours access to the museum.

Evening climbs are also available for those brave souls who are bold enough to venture to the top of the tallest Forgotten Coast lighthouse. Climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the bay. Evening climbs cost $10 for climbers (ages 13 and up) and timed tickets are needed due to limited availability.
