Moonlit Evening Celebrates Spring at Crooked River Lighthouse

March 14 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Carrabelle Crooked River Lighthouse

The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting a Moonlit Evening at the Lighthouse event on Friday, March 14, 2025 ET in Carrabelle, FL. Visitors can enjoy the gorgeous natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach under the glow of the sunset and rising Worm Moon. This special evening kicks off early with Worm Grunting Demos from 5:00-6:00 pm, a fascinating pre-event showcasing the art of enticing earthworms from the ground—a nod to the evening’s theme. From 6:00-9:00 pm, visitors can enjoy the main event beneath the beautiful Worm Moon, named for the earthworms that signal the arrival of spring.

Visitors can experience 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. A glowing bonfire will light up the night, creating a perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the evening—don’t forget to bring a chair!

For those brave souls who are bold enough to venture to the top of the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast, evening tower climbs are scheduled at 15-minute intervals throughout the event. Climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the bay. Evening climbs cost $10 and climb reservations are strongly encouraged due to limited availability. Climbers must be at least 44 inches tall and children under 12 (FREE) with ticketed adults. Advance tickets can be purchased online or in the lighthouse gift shop.
