Things to do in Lanark Village Florida
If you can’t find something to do in Lanark, you’re not trying hard enough. The events listed here occur with a regularity you can count on…kind of. We reserve the right to hang a “Gone Fishin” or “Open When I Get Here, Closed When I Leave” sign on any door. Stuff happens, so check with the original source before arriving. Have fun!
Coffee with Friends
Monday-Friday 9-11 at Chillas Hall
You can’t get a deal like this anywhere else. Free coffee on Thursdays and a $1 donation for a bottomless cup on M-T-W-F. Mornings with friends - priceless. Check the Lanark Life Facebook page for updates.
Sunday Funday
Sundays 10-1 at Carrabelle Beach with the Village Idiot community group. Meet at the pavilion. Check the Village Idiot Facebook page for updates.
Thirsty Thursday
Wednesday (jk) Thursday 5-7 at Chillas Hall
Show off your exceptional culinary skills, creatively dispose of excess Farmshare distributions, or just pick up a bucket of chicken (jk again, because…where?), and join your neighbors for dinner and drinks. Everybody gets thirsty. There’s no shame in that.
Check the Lanark Life Facebook page before you go just to be sure we’re there. You don’t have to eat alone.
Karaoke
On the 3rd Saturday of the month at the American Legion.
Everybody is a star, and here’s your chance to shine. Check the Legion’s Facebook page before you go. Wear something sparkly.

Golf Club Yard Sale
First Saturday of every month. In the parking lot across from Chillas Hall. Get there early - there’s always some good stuff.
FSU Coastal and Marine Lab
Free Friday tours! Free lectures! You can be forgiven for thinking all we do in Lanark is eat, drink, shop, and play, but guess what? We’re smart too. Visit the Marine Lab for some intellectual stimulation and a look below the surface of our beautiful bay.
First Friday
The first Friday of every month in downtown Carrabelle. Lively tunes pour through the open doors of Rio Carrabelle and merchants will pour you a complimentary glass of wine or beer. Stores and restaurants stay open late, so you can shop, eat, drink, and tap your foot to the street music against the backdrop of Carrabelle’s lovely little riverside setting. Check out the Happening In or Around Carrabelle Facebook page for updates.
Art
Make art (or learn about it) on Tuesdays between 1-3 with the Carrabelle Artist Association. Don’t let the name intimidate you - beginners are welcome. Don’t have supplies? Don’t worry; they’ll supply you. Just show up at the senior center and have a good time. Check their Facebook page to find out what’s on the roster for the week or join the Association and get their calendar by email.
Farmers Markets
Every Saturday morning from 9-1. Alternating weekends - at the Crooked River Lighthouse on 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of the month, and at the Mill Pond Pavilion in Apalachicola on the 2nd and 4th. The second Saturday of the month, there’s also a Fresh Market at the Lanark Village Boat Club. Check the linked pages for details and updates.
Full Moon Celebration
At the Crooked River Lighthouse, monthly on (you guessed it) the full moon. Check the CRL’s webpage for updates regarding music, food, tours, and a chance to climb to the top of the lighthouse. Reserve early - it’s fun so they sell out.
Happy Hour Heroes
Tuesdays 4-6 at Harry’s Bar in Carrabelle. Aren’t Tuesday’s shaping up to be the most incredible days? You can have Coffee with Friends at Chillas Hall in the morning. At lunch you’re on your own, but as soon as you’ve eaten, you can go to art day at the senior center in Carrabelle, then to Happy Hour Heroes at 4, then to Tasty Tuesdays at the Legion Hall just in time for dinner, and still catch a game with friends at Chillas before hitting the hay. What a life!
Check the Village Idiot Facebook page for updates about Happy Hour Heroes. You don’t have to drink alone (or draw or eat…there’s no need to play solitaire either).
Camp Gordon Johnston Museum
Farm Share
Farm Share food distribution weekly on Wednesdays. Usually in the late morning or early afternoon but check their Facebook page for time and location.
That should keep you busy! But if you sometimes feel like ranging further afield, check out these day trips within a 2-hour drive for some variety.
