This cultural event is a free celebration of amazing
local culture, art, music, history, food, and fun in the heart of downtown Carrabelle. This is a wonderful opportunity to add a bit more fun as you experience the wonderful local culture, art, history, and food that Carrabelle already has to offer.
The Carrabelle History Museum will be bringing
live, outdoor (socially-distanced) music to the streets of Carrabelle, from Florida folk music to more current Country and Rock music to favorite oldies. Musicians like Susan David, Christy Crandall, Lewis Christie (with his keyboard), Cody Barber and Highway 98 featuring Tom Magnam and David Cosgrove will be performing outdoors for all to enjoy.
The
Carrabelle Artist Association will have a fun activity for children making and decorating paper airplanes. Visitors will spot fun,
costumed characters from the fan-favorite,
Fishy Fashion Show wandering the streets. Unique artwork can be seen throughout the downtown area from murals on the walls to art in the windows of local shops to the public art near the Marine Street waterfront pavilion.
New this year will be a
Carrabelle Scavenger Hunt. For each of the locations, there will be a clue so guests can find the answers. Find enough answers and will receive a special souvenir! Winners also qualify for the drawing for some fabulous door prizes! Guests can start at the
Carrabelle History Museum, SE 106 Avenue B, Carrabelle, FL.
Come learn about the culture, natural resources and local history of the area by visiting the
vendors and exhibitors on Avenue B - Reef Rangers on Lionfish, WWII history with Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum, woven ropes from native plant fibers with Ken Horne, local historical fiction books with Michael Kinnett (
Apalachicola Pearl,
Apalachicola Gold and
Mother of Pearl), George Weymouth with a collection of archaeology finds and more.
While on Avenue B, be sure to visit the Carrabelle History Museum to discover the booms and busts of Carrabelle’s history like the by-gone eras when local logging and lumber merchants, steamships, party boats and shrimping vessels lined the vast and deep Carrabelle River.
