Aug 04, 2019

"This was a great experience for the local community, and there is serious consideration about organizing another world record attempt with the World Record Academy, to break this record at the 2020 Marin County Fair."

A total of 180 people celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing  by doing the Moon Walk dance at the Marin County Fair on July 3rd, 2019, during an event organized by the Space Station Museum, thus setting the new world record for the Largest Moon Walk Dance, according to the World Record Academy.

SAN RAFAEL, CA, United States --A total of 180 people celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing by doing the Moon Walk dance at the Marin County Fair on July 3rd, 2019, during an event organized by the Space Station Museum , thus setting the new world record for the Largest Moon Walk Dance , according to the World Record Academy.

“Setting a new world record for the Moon Walk dance was a fun, innovative way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. As a small non-profit, getting media attention can be difficult. This event also helped our museum gain increased local media exposure to promote our museum and our Novato Space Festival on August 4th, says Kenneth Winans, main organizer.

"Although we had hoped for 500 participants, this was a great experience for the local community, and there is serious consideration about organizing another world record attempt with the World Record Academy, to break this record at the 2020 Marin County Fair. In fact, several astronauts want to participate in future world record attempts!" says Kenneth Winans , Founder and President of The Novato Space Station Museum and main organizer of the record attempt.

A total of 180 people celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing  by doing the Moon Walk dance at the Marin County Fair on July 3rd, 2019, during an event organized by the Space Station Museum, thus setting the new world record for the Largest Moon Walk Dance, according to the World Record Academy.

The world record attempt was verified by Laura Carb , a Certified Professional Accountant from Sausalito, CA.

The word record event was also assisted and confirmed by Priscilla Armstrong , Public Notary.

Why did you choose us (World Record Academy) for registering this record ?


"Ken Winans is a WRA record holder for the Most Awards Won in Major Book Competitions as a Finance Author in the English Language . He had a good experience with WRA and highly recommended them. Also, since this WR attempt was a media campaign for The Space Station Museum, WRA was kind enough to support the non-profit museum’s efforts by giving a discounted fee.

"Marin County Fair initially took charge of planning this event; they contacted Guinness World Records for this event.

After very frustrating negotiations, Guinness World Records gave no discounts to charities. After World Record Academy offered a reduced rate for this charitable record, I accepted the role of financial sponsor.”

"We have one of the largest private collections of U.S., Russian and Soviet space-exploration artifacts."

"The goal of the Space Station Museum is to help educate our children about the exciting history of space exploration, and to increase the public’s understanding that a strong global commitment towards future space travel is an important key to accelerating our civilization’s development."
