2025 Carrabelle Culture Crawl

Art. Music. Heritage. Fun.

The Carrabelle History Museum is hosting the Carrabelle Culture Crawl on Saturday, March 22 from 10 am to 3 pm. This cultural event is a free celebration of local culture, art, music, history, food, and fun in the heart of downtown Carrabelle. This is a fantastic chance for visitors to have some fun and experience the wonderful local culture of Carrabelle. 

The Crawl will bring live music and entertainment to the streets of Carrabelle, with Florida folk music, classic country, modern hits, and oldies. A variety of musicians will be performing including Frank Lindamood, Lewis Christie, Sumpin’ Old & Sumpin’ New, the Ukulilies, the Waterbirds and more. Visitors will spot fun, costumed characters from the Fishy Fashion Show wandering the streets. These walking photo ops are a fan-favorite. Plus, the talented Lydia Countryman and friends will delight the crowd with their life-size dog puppets walking the streets. 

Art will abound at the Crawl featuring local artists and artisans. Visitors can watch as artists paint “plein air” offering a glimpse at the creative process in action. Shops and galleries will feature lots of artwork available for viewing and buying. There will be special activities at the Rio Carrabelle Gallery including one of their artists painting on the street. The always popular public art drawing and coloring activity will be hung in storefront windows as well as  sidewalk chalk and other family friendly art activities. Guests can also stroll over to see Carrabelle’s two large, stunning murals.

Classic, vintage, and modern cars will roll into the Crawl, offering a stunning showcase for auto enthusiasts. Visitors can also enjoy demos and displays highlighting traditional skills that connect with the craftsmanship of the past. Features include quilting by Lanark Village Wandering Star Quilters, cast net throwing with Greg Daniels, antique upholstering by Daleen of I. C. Blue Upholstery, and blacksmithing by Chris Cauthen. And step into the world of archaeology and unearth how artifacts, like cannon shell fragments, reveal stories of the past with Florida Public Archaeology Network.   

Carrabelle’s food scene will shine with seafood favorites like shrimp, scallops, and crab cakes, plus hearty options like burgers, fajitas, and deli sandwiches. Sweet treats include key lime pie, donuts, and açaí bowls, alongside coffee, shakes, and energy teas. The Dog Gone Snowcones truck will serve up hot dogs and refreshing snowcones.
