Snow Moon at Crooked River Lighthouse

The Crooked River Lighthouse will host Twilight at the Tower as part of Park Fest on Saturday, January 31 from 5-8 pm in Carrabelle, FL. The evening features live music by The Waterbirds, an outdoor movie, after-hours museum tours, twilight tower climbs, and a glowing bonfire under the Snow Moon. Visitors are invited to enjoy the stunning natural beauty of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach as the sun sets and the full moon rises. The Keeper’s House Museum with the 1894 Fresnel Lens, gift shop, and delicious food will round out the evening. Admission is $5 for the general public and free for members and children 12 and under. Tickets are available in the gift shop or online.
The Waterbirds will perform aboard the Pirate Ship stage from 5–6:30 pm, bringing a lively mix of reggae, folk, jazz, rock, blues, and original music. The group features singer-songwriter Susan David with Terry Koral, Rick Kohl, and Paul Adams. From 6:30–8 pm, guests can enjoy an outdoor movie.
Visitors can explore the Keeper’s House Museum after hours and view the lighthouse’s original 1894 Fresnel lens from Paris, France. The gift shop will offer unique nautical gifts, while Mamaw’s Fresh Catch and the Beacon Bistro will provide food and desserts. A bonfire will set the mood, and guests are welcome to bring chairs and relax as twilight turns to evening.
Those wishing to climb the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast can take part in twilight tower climbs. From the top, climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views, the colors of the sunset, and the glow of the rising moon.
