Full Throttle Bike Night is happening Friday, May 29 from 4–8PM. If you’ve got a bike — or just like being around them — this is your night.

We’ll have dyno pulls going the whole time, so you can see what your ride actually puts down. DJ Rah will be playing, Chef’s Block will have food, and we’re throwing in a frozen t-shirt contest just to keep things interesting.

It’s nothing complicated — just bikes, horsepower, music, and people hanging out. Show up, bring your crew, and enjoy it.

The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting Twilight at the Tower on Saturday, May 30 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 Blue moon rises.

The phrase “Blue Moon” goes back hundreds of years. One of the earliest mentions was in a pamphlet in the 1500s that joked people would believe anything their minister told them—even that the Moon was blue. The phrase was meant to describe something obviously ridiculous. Today, we use “once in a blue moon” to describe something rare, and in astronomy it simply means an extra full moon in a cycle, most often the second full moon in one month.

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. Climb reservations are encouraged. Evening climbs are scheduled at 15-minute intervals. Climbers 12 and under are free with ticketed adults and must be at least 44 inches tall. Climb reservations are available in the gift shop or online at crookedriverlighthouse.com/full-moon-events/.

Crooked River Lighthouse is located at 1975 Hwy 98, in Carrabelle. For details, visit crookedriverlighthouse.com or contact carrabellelighthouse@gmail.com or 850-697-2732. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
