 Moonshine Festival Comes to Dayton

The PhilBilly Moonshine Full Moon Festival will shine a light on the making of the beverage

Shine a light on the process of making this popular drink

Join moonshine enthusiasts and makers for the PhilBilly Moonshine Full Moon Festival at Snickers Bar and Grill in Dayton on July 11 and 12. Named after and co-hosted by internet personality PhilBilly Moonshine alongside fellow moonshiner and internet personality Big Eaze, the festival will have many other moonshiners and vendors, including winners and contestants from the popular TV show Moonshiners Master Distillers: Shawn Rigsby, John Bentz and Jud Henderson.  

At the festival, attendees can learn the processes of making moonshine from the masters of the craft. Get up close and personal with the copper stills and witness a live still demonstration on Saturday. Enjoy tasting and samples from favorites of the Dayton community and enter the 50/50 raffle. This festival has plenty of fun for adults, but they haven’t left the kids out. Children are welcome to enjoy the excitement of a bounce house while parents explore the festivities.  

In addition to the beverages, all are welcome to enjoy food from Snickers Bar and Grill or the event’s many food trucks while listening to the musical stylings of a live bluegrass band.   

Free, noon, July 11 and 12, 9372 W Third St.
