SUMMARY:15th Annual Apalachicola Mardi Gras Barkus Parade & Festival “Under the Sea”
DESCRIPTION:The Mystic Krewe of Salty Barkers will celebrate Mardi Gras Apalach-style on February 27-28\, 2026\, at Riverfront Park in Apalachicola\, FL. This beloved coastal tradition features a lively street festival and the 15th Annual Mardi Gras Barkus Parade\, a parade of costumed dogs and their people. Guests are invited to dive into the fun in festive costumes\, creative floats\, wagging tails\, and plenty of local flair. All sea lovers and their loyal sea pups are invited to swim by and enjoy this fintastic ocean adventure. \n  \nThe 2026 theme is “Under the Sea.” Pups and their people will don costumes inspired by the wonders of the deep blue sea\, a magical ocean realm ruled by dogs. The streets will be swimming with majestic mer-dogs\, sea royalty\, pirate and their ships\, shimmering fish\, daring divers\, and maybe even a sea monster or two. The creativity and splashy spirit guests bring to this magical underwater spectacle will be a sight to see. \nThe festival kicks off with fun and frivolity on Friday\, February 27\, from 12 to 6 pm ET with the Fido-Do (a Salty Barker twist on a fais do-do). This old-fashioned Mardi Gras street event will feature live music and entertainment and of course delicious food and drinks. Participants are invited to bring their golf carts and decorate them for Saturday’s parade and stay for the new Sundown Celebration. \nOn Saturday\, February 28\, the festival continues from 10:30  to 4 pm at Riverfront Park. Guests will enjoy over 40 vendors offering a variety of food\, arts\, and crafts\, live music\, a beer and wine garden with local craft brews\, and of course the Pet Parade. Additional highlights include street entertainment\, pet and family photos\, pet adoptions through the Franklin County Humane Society and animal ambassadors from the Florida Wild Mammal Association. Other non-profit exhibitors will also be present\, along with T-shirts and Mardi Gras merchandise for purchase. \nThe 15th Annual Barkus Parade\, the big splash of the weekend\, starts at 1 pm on Saturday. The parade of decorated golf carts\, boats\, floats\, and costumed walkers – both the four-legged and two-legged kind will make waves at Riverfront Park\, wind through town\, and end back at the park to continue the raucous fun. Registration for the parade is $5 for walkers\, $25 for golf carts\, and $50 for floats. Canine companions\, of course\, are free. \n  \nMore than just fun\, this celebration is also a fundraiser for local animal rescue organizations. The Mystic Krewe of Salty Barkers donates all proceeds to help animals in need across the Forgotten Coast. This is a joyful way to come together\, show their creativity\, and raise funds for a great cause—all with a big splash of Mardi Gras magic. \n  \nFor more details on this journey into an imaginary world beneath the waves\, visit saltybarkers.org\, facebook.com/MardiGrasBarkusParade or apalachdogs@gmail.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Honoring our African American Servicemembers
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit in recognition of Black History Month honoring  the service of African-American servicemembers in WWII. This exhibit will open Tuesday\, February 3\, 2026 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, February 28\, 2026. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET and there is no charge for admission. \n  \nAfrican Americans served in large numbers during WWII despite being denied full rights as American citizens. They served in segregated units in both the Army and the Army Air Corps\, one of the most recognizable being the Tuskegee Airmen. Many African American soldiers trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in transportation units such as Amphibious Truck Companies\, where support units often worked close to combat and came under fire. \n  \nAt Camp Gordon Johnston\, these Amphibious Truck Companies trained in the use of the amphibious truck known as the DUKW\, using the bay and sandy beaches in Carrabelle and all along the Forgotten Coast to practice operating\, loading and unloading these truly amphibious vehicles. The Museum continues its research into the units that trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in Carrabelle and served in World War II including being part of the campaign on Iwo Jima. \n  \nThis exhibit will share what has been uncovered about these servicemen who\, like many African Americans of the era\, served their country with honor in a still-segregated military and faced significant challenges along the way. \n  \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

Some North American tribes named it the Hungry Moon due to the scarce food sources and hard hunting conditions during mid-winter\, while others named it Bear Moon\, referring to bear cubs being born this time of year. Celtic and Old English names for the February Full Moon are Storm Moon and Ice Moon.
