It was a bit more complicated to plan this year’s festival with all of the COVID guidelines to follow, but Dad’s Toy Shop in Wapak made sure to build their RC ramp course for the 18th year in a row.

Although the 50th anniversary celebration brought record-breaking crowds out to the Moon Fest last year, they hope that everyone will be able to safely enjoy the festival at a distance from others this year. To see a full list of activities for the summer moon fest, visit summermoonfestival.com. 

Things are still up in the air for the future of the annual Summer Moon Festival in Wapakoneta this year. Those organizing the event are still waiting to hear what the final decision regarding summer festivals and fairs will be from the state, but they say they are prepared to hold the festival if they are able to.

Wapakoneta’s 2019 Summer Moon Fest will be their biggest one yet as the community celebrates the milestone 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s historic first steps on the moon. “It’s expanded from what is usually about a four-day format to a ten-day format,” said Deb Zwez, a member of the 2019 50th Anniversary Celebration Committee. 

If you're worried about rain putting a damper on your Summer Moon Fest plans, you may still be in luck.
