Moxie Festival In Lisbon Canceled For Second Straight Year
Plans for the annual Moxie Festival in Maine has fizzled out, again.
The Lisbon Town Council earlier this week voted to once again scrap plans for the town s annual Moxie Festival. According to News Center Maine, a vote of 5-1 Tuesday night struck down plans for the festival due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Lisbon Parks and Recreation Director Mark Stevens said: Right now I just don t think we could look at planning an effective, safe parade right now. Or even Friday night events.
Councilors hope to move forward with smaller community events this summer and fall, like a car show, 5K road race, and fireworks. Determinations on whether these events can take place in-person, virtually, or at all has yet to be made.
