Special Full Moon Event

The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting a special Full Moon Lighthouse event on Sunday, March 28, 2021 from 7:00-10:00 pm in Carrabelle, FL. This special outdoor event will feature live music, a glowing fire pit, and low country boil. 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 Rio Jazz Trio playing Blues, Ballads, Bebop and Bossanova. 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.)

For this month’s special event, admission must be purchased in advance. Admission cost is $10 per person and includes the live music, fire pit, low country boil and museum access. Admission can be paid online or at 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 Forgotten Coast lighthouse rewards climbers with breathtaking views of the bay. Climbers must be 44” tall. A climb timeslot reservation is required and can be made by calling 850-697-2732. Climbers will pay the climb fee (adult $5, child $3) in the gift shop during the event.

COVID protocols limit one party at a time to climb the tower, and each party will exit before the next one climbs. A limited number of climbers are allowed in each party. Due to the popularity of the evening climbs, there will be a time limit for viewing from the top.  Guests who would like a more leisurely climbing experience are welcome to enjoy one of the daytime climbs available every Wednesday through Sunday.

Crooked River Lighthouse Park is located in Carrabelle, just west of the Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1975 Hwy 98 W, Carrabelle. For more information, contact the Museum and Gift Shop at 850-697-2732 or carrabellelighthouse@gmail.com.  Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
