Full Moon names are attributable to native American tribes, most notably the Algonquin, who named the moons to mark the changing seasons.

The sun will set at 7:19 p.m. and the “Hunter’s” moon will rise at 7:01p.m. on October 6th. This full Moon is often referred to as the “Hunter’s” Moon, Blood Moon, or Sanguine Moon. Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it is time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead. Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes.
The Cape St. George Light is located in St. George Lighthouse Park at the center of St. George Island, where Island Drive (the road off the bridge) ends at Gulf Beach Drive. Parking is available in lots at either side of the park.

About the Pink Moon
The April full moon, traditionally called the “Pink Moon,” was named by early Native American tribes not for the color of the Moon itself, but for the early spring bloom of phlox, a pink moss wildflower that appears in parts of North America this time of year. As winter finally releases its grip, the landscape begins to shift toward new growth, migration, and warming temperatures. Other names include Frog Moon, Loon Moon, Sea Moon, Growing Moon, It’s Thundering Moon and Planting Moon.

About the Flower Moon
The May full moon, widely known as the “Flower Moon,” was named by early Native American tribes, reflecting the explosion of spring blossoms across the Northern Hemisphere. Fields, forests, and gardens enter peak bloom, and this rapid growth made “Flower Moon” an easy seasonal marker in many regions. Other names include Dancing Moon, Budding Moon, Milk Moon, Snake Moon, and Egg Laying Moon.

Across traditions, the June Moon marks early summer: longer days, warmer nights, and the beginning of the main growing season.

Before electricity, it lit the fields for farmers, giving them more light to gather crops before winter.
