About the Festival

Science Festivals not only celebrate curiosity and creativity, they also help build a community of people committed to sharing in the enterprise of science as exploring the unknown. Science Festivals can introduce you to science people, places and programs that you can then tap into year-round as you explore more about how science is changing how we look at and lead our lives.

The Wisconsin Science Festival is the invention of a growing coalition of scientists, artists, citizens and organizations passionate about engaging everyone in the wonder and power of science. The inaugural year of the festival was based in Madison, Wis. The festival continues to change and expand locations each year so it is hosted in multiple venues across the state, including more than 13 cities in 2012.

Made possible without tax payer dollars due to private funding and corporate support.
