MOXIE FESTIVAL

Moxie Festival theme and logo winners

Moxie Festival history in brief

“Celebrate Moxie the Maine Way,” is the 2015 winning theme. Robin (Rogers) Arsenault, a 4th generation Mainer who grew up in Lisbon, won the annual theme contest that drew contestants from across the country.

According to Lisbon Public Safety Officials, an estimated 50,000 people attend the tree-day Moxie Festival which will take place July 10-12, 2015. The town of Lisbon has approximately 9,000 residents.

Lisbon High School Senior Hannah Stritch received $100 and the first 2015 Moxie Festival t-shirt with her winning Moxie Festival logo.

Since 1982, The Moxie Festival in Lisbon, Maine has been held on the second weekend in July.

2015 Mox ie Festiva l t-shirts are available throughout the festival weekend.

The Festival now includes a Friday night Block Party with fireworks; a Saturday parade, Moxie Day 5K Race, Moxie Recipe Contest, Chug-n-Challenge, Moxie Concert in the Park, Petting Zoo and Pony Rides and plenty of vendors for something for the whole family; and on Sunday, Family Fun Day at Beaver Park, Moxie Car Show and much more!

Moxie was designated Maine’s official soft drink on May 20, 2005. To keep up with all activities, check us out at: www.moxiefestival.com and don’t forget to like us on Facebook.

Moxie recipe contest is changing things up Can you bake a cake with Moxie? Make a mustard or barbecue sauce? What about Moxie meatballs with Moxie au jus? The answers to those important Moxie questions would be a resounding yes, yes, and yes!

From left, winner Hannah Stritch’s father and step-mother Richard and Betsy Stritch, Hannah, and grandparents Arlene and Morrill Nason.

The Moxie Recipe Contest will take place on Saturday this year, July 11, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the MTM Center Gym, 18 School Street, Lisbon Falls. It will be one of many highlights making up arguably one of New England’s most intriguing summer festivals. More than 70,000 visitors regularly descend on the central Maine town of Lisbon for the annual three-day festival, celebrating all things Moxie. Like everything related to the festival, the recipe contest gets bigger and better every year. Last year, 30 contestants entered and the local eatery, Chummy’s, was bursting at the seams with the gathered foodies, hard-core fans of Moxie, and curious (and hungry) on-lookers. “Chummy’s was a great venue for us the past few years, but frankly, we’ve outgrown the space,” said Julie-Ann Baumer, the Moxie Recipe Contest coordinator, and hostess of the annual event. Baumer is really excited about the new location, a former elementary school that she attended growing up in the town. Now converted to a community center, the MTM Center has a good-
