Since 1982, The Moxie Festival has been held on the second weekend in July in Lisbon, celebrating Moxie soda, the official soft drink of Maine.
The 41st Moxie Festival, a three-day event, July 11-13, will have an Hawaiian-inspired, “Hang Loose, Drink Moxie,” theme.
A Hawaiian hula dancing demonstration, steel drum and ukulele bands highlight the Festival’s luau theme, and the Festival is slated to have performances from two nationally-acclaimed tribute bands coming to Maine for the first time. Another Tequila Sunrise Eagles Tribute will perform Friday night, with Changes in Latitudes, America’s Premier Jimmy Buffet tribute band, offering the headlining performance Saturday. Local favorites Runnin’ Down a Dream, The Smith Collaboration, and Glory Daze all take the stage throughout the three-day celebration.
The 29th Annual Moxie Day 5K, Moxie Day Parade (one of the largest in the state) Moxie Fireworks, children’s area, food trucks, vendors, cornhole tournament and more promise a weekend of free family fun and of course, Moxie by the truckload.
All official Moxie Festival events are located at the Lisbon High School Campus, with the exception of Sunday’s Car Show at Beaver Park in Lisbon and Moxie Recipe Contest 11am Sunday at Olive Pit Brewing Co., Lisbon.
