Narrative:

I was taxiing aircraft on grass at special interest activity air show. I was concentrating on where I was going (taxiway to my right) and reading taxi and departure instructions at special interest activity air show (very complicated). My left wingtip impacted parked aircraft nose cone and my aircraft stopped. Damage to my fiberglass wingtip and other aircraft's fiberglass nose cone. I was able to tape damage and depart, owner of other aircraft nowhere to be found, I left a note. Contributing factors: failure to pay attention to all sides of aircraft during taxi, many parked aircraft in close proximity, rough grass taxi surface. Suggest keep head on swivel.
