A little Moon Fest Check-In...
Moon Fest Fall Moonlight Market 2026 is currently scheduled for Saturday, October 17, and Iβm at the point where I need to decide whether to move forward with it this year.
Iβve been working on bringing together the vendors, food, music and all the little details that make Moon Fest what it is. Right now, though, vendor participation is lower than I had hoped, and Iβm still trying to secure a food truck.
Before I make a final decision, Iβd really love to hear from YOU.
If Moon Fest happens on October 17, would you plan to come? πβ¨
π Comment and let me know!
YES β Iβm planning to come!
MAYBE β Depends on the details
Iβd love to come, but October 17 doesnβt work for me
And if you could change or add one thing to make Moon Fest something you wouldn't want to miss, what would it be?
Iβm going to give this another week and then make the final call.
Thank you for supporting this little dream of ours. β€οΈπ
Update:
I've seen some comments recently about wanting Moon Fest to have more of a Renaissance Faire feel, so I want to clarify something about what Moon Fest is β and what it isn't.
Moon Fest is ran by one couple, with help from a handful of friends and family. We aren't a large festival organization with hundreds of vendors, a large staff, or a Renaissance Faire-sized budget. We simply can't create an event on that scale β and that's okay. β€οΈ
Our vision for Moon Fest has always been a family-friendly, fun and relaxing event where people can come together, discover creative vendors, enjoy some music and entertainment, and just chill for a while. π
That said, I absolutely want Moon Fest to continue growing and improving. And most importantly, I want it to be successful for the vendors who invest their time and money to be there.
If I don't believe there will be enough attendance for our vendors to have a worthwhile day, then we won't hold the event.
If you want Moon Fest to happen, the biggest way you can help right now is simple:
π COME β and invite your friends!
π SHARE this post and the event!
π Consider becoming a vendor, entertainer, food truck, or workshop instructor! https://www.moonfest.us/vendor-info.html #/
And for those who have asked how they can financially support Moon Fest, we do have a donation option and a wish list.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who regularly helps, shares, participates and supports Moon Fest. We truly couldn't do this without you. β€οΈπ
