The Lisbon Town Council voted 5-1 to cancel the town’s Moxie Festival this summer due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the town will try to hold smaller community events through the summer.
Parks and Recreation Director Mark Stevens told the council he can’t see how the town can safely plan an effective, safe parade or the Friday night events that identify the Moxie Festival.
“That doesn’t mean that we can’t do other things,” Stevens said.
Stevens said that could include a car show, fireworks show or a 5K race in Beaver Park marketed locally only instead of to all of New England.
