Twilight at the Tower w/ Music by Harold Boothe
September 5 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Crooked River Lighthouse invites visitors to Twilight at the Tower on Saturday, September 5 from 7:00-9:00 pm ET in Carrabelle, FL. This relaxing evening event offers after-hours museum visits, gift shop browsing, twilight tower climbs, and the peaceful natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach as evening falls. Guests will enjoy live music from the talented Harold Boothe from 7:00-8:30 pm. Admission is FREE. Evening climbs are $6 for the public, free for current members and free for kids 12 and under with a ticketed adult.
Harold Boothe will bring his signature laid-back coastal sound to the evening, blending trop-rock, coastal country and singer-songwriter storytelling. Influenced by the beach-bar lifestyle of the Gulf Coast, Key West and the Caribbean, as well as the storytelling traditions of Nashville and the South, his music combines melodies and relatable stories with touches of country, rock, jazz and blues.
A lifelong songwriter, Boothe draws inspiration from the people, places and experiences around him, from the rural South and Nashville to coastal communities and Caribbean islands. His songs capture warm breezes, waterfront sunsets, good friends and everyday life, creating music that is relaxed and engaging. Boothe’s music is a perfect fit for a memorable evening of music and twilight views at the Crooked River Lighthouse.
The Keeper’s House Museum will be open for special evening hours, featuring the lighthouse’s original Fourth Order Fresnel lens, constructed in Paris, France, in 1894. Visitors can also browse the lighthouse gift shop for unique nautical gifts and souvenirs. The Beacon Bistro will offer baked goodies, popcorn, and refreshments by donation. Plus guests can enjoy food and beverages from the LINK Sausages & Beer Food Truck. Guests are encouraged to kick back, relax on the lighthouse grounds, and enjoy a memorable evening beneath the summer sky.
For those looking for an unforgettable view, twilight tower climbs provide a chance to experience the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast from the top. Climbers will enjoy panoramic views of St. George Sound, Carrabelle Beach, and the beautiful colors of twilight stretching across the horizon as dusk settles over the coast.
