Celebrate Blues and BBQ at Crooked River Lighthouse
December 5 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting a very special Blues & BBQ themed Twilight at the Tower on Friday, December 5 from 6:00-8:00 pm ET in Carrabelle, FL. This festive Blues & BBQ evening invites visitors to enjoy live music from the talented duo “Blues Meets Girl,” a glowing bonfire, and a delicious BBQ meal from Fatdaddy’s Smokehouse, all set at the foot of Carrabelle’s lighthouse. Visitors can enjoy the natural surroundings as the golden sun sets, the Cold Moon rises, and one of the longest nights of the year unfolds.
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 tour the Keeper’s House Museum and see the original, historic Fresnel lens constructed in 1894 in Paris, France. The lighthouse gift shop will also be offering unique nautical gifts and souvenirs. Guests are welcome to bring a chair and relax on the grounds as the color of the sky goes from watercolor hues to evening blues and the first evening star appears.
For this special event, admission tickets are required. Full Admission (Meal Included) tickets are $20 and include live music, a bonfire, a delicious BBQ dinner from Fatdaddy’s, and after-hours access to the museum. Entry Only Admission (No Meal) tickets are also available and cost $5. Children 12 and under get Entry Only Admission (No Meal) for free with a ticketed adult.
Visitors looking for an unforgettable experience can enjoy twilight tower climbs to the top of the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast. From the top, climbers will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of St. George Sound, Carrabelle Beach, the brilliant colors of the sunset, and the glow of the rising moon. Twilight climb tickets are $5, and participants must be at least 44 inches tall. Tickets for both admission and climbs can be purchased online or in the lighthouse gift shop.
