Moon Festival at KSC Visitor Center Complex

Relive the excitement of 1969 and look ahead to humanity’s next era of lunar exploration during Moon Festival 2026.

Moon Festival at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex began as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11—the mission that first carried Americans to the lunar surface. While that legendary moment still inspires us, this year, we also celebrate NASA’s Artemis II mission and its historic lunar flyby.

Join us for a weekend of immersive experiences, vintage vibes, and bold visions of what’s next. From the triumphs of 1969 to the missions shaping our future, Moon Festival brings generations of “Moon Joy” together.
