Crooked River Lighthouse Full Moon Climb with Blues and BBQ

The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting a special Blues & BBQ Full Moon Lighthouse event on Sunday, December 19, 2021, from 5-8 pm in Carrabelle, FL. This special outdoor event will feature live Blues music, a glowing fire pit, and delicious BBQ.  Visitors can enjoy this opportunity to see the gorgeous natural surroundings of the St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach under the evening sky. Live music will be provided by the Musical duo, “Blues Meets Girl”. Bring a chair and enjoy the evening. The museum and gift shop will be open for browsing and shopping. Admission for this special Full Moon event is $10 per person. (Climbs are not included in this price.)

Blues Meets Girl is a collaboration of British Blues veteran Mr. Downchild and Texas-born singer/songwriter Kasimira. Together they weave their influences and experiences creating Down Home, Smokin’ Sexy Blues.  Plus a delicious BBQ vendor will be on hand with pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, and coleslaw.

For this month’s special event, admission must be purchased in advance. Admission cost is $10 per person and includes live music, fire pit, delicious BBQ, and museum access. Admission can be paid online at https://www.crookedriverlighthouse.com/category/programs-events/ or in the Crooked River Lighthouse Gift Shop.

In addition, some guests may also choose to enjoy evening tower climbs. The climb to the top of the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast rewards climbers with breathtaking views of the bay.
