Science Fest

Free Public Festival! 

The St. Petersburg Science Festival is an annual regional celebration where families and the public can explore the wonders of hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).

The Festival is located at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus and Poytner Park – along the waterfront.

The event is held in conjunction with MarineQuest, the open house of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.  The two events happen side-by-side and attendees are able to walk from one to the other.

Join us at our waterfront tent to learn about our programs and data collection process (EPA's ETAP - Escaped Trash Assesment Protocol) that helps keep our local waterways clean!
