Twilight at the Tower at Crooked River Lighthouse

The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting Twilight at the Tower on Thursday, April 2 from 7:00-10:00 pm ET in Carrabelle, FL. This special event invites visitors to enjoy after-hours museum visits, gift shop browsing, a glowing bonfire, tower climbs, and the gorgeous natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach as evening falls and the moon rises. Plus guests will enjoy a participative experience called a ”Sound Bath”, a guided relaxation experience using calming, continuous sounds to relax the body and mind. Admission is $10 for the general public and includes a twilight climb. Admission is free for current members and for kids 12 and under. Admission and climb reservations are available in the gift shop or online.

A sound bath explores the powerful vibrations of harmonic tones as a source of healing. This unique, meditative session will be presented by The Gong Experience gongliers (gong players) Sahadev and Kasimira. The gong, an ancient instrument, when properly played resonates pure sound that can reach deep emotional places in a powerful and primal way. Guests are welcome to bring a chair and sit, watch, listen, feel and experience this meditative event.

Sahadev (Steve Brazier) and Kasimira Vogel are musicians and yogis who have devotedly studied gong techniques. They have made it their personal mission to share this special gift of healing with as many people as they can. Kasimira, Reiki Master and Meditation instructor, adds elements of Native flute and vocal sounds while infusing Reiki into the gongs for added healing.

The Keeper’s House Museum will be open for after-hours tours featuring the lighthouse’s original Fresnel lens constructed in 1894 in Paris, France. The lighthouse gift shop will offer a variety of unique nautical gifts and souvenirs, and the Beacon Bistro will have delicious baked goodies, popcorn, hot chocolate, and s’more kits available by donation. A glowing bonfire will create a perfect atmosphere for folks to kick back, relax and enjoy the evening. As the sky shifts from watercolor hues to deep evening blues, visitors are welcome to bring a chair and unwind on the lighthouse grounds.

Visitors seeking 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 panoramic views of St. George Sound, Carrabelle Beach and the beautiful colors of the evening sky. Evening climbs are scheduled at 15-minute intervals and climbers must be at least 44 inches tall.
