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). 

Thank you to everyone – sponsors (see below), exhibitors, volunteers, teachers and the steering committee – for making the 2023 event fabulous! 

800 students from 4th and 5th grade attended School Day on Friday, February 17, 2023.  12,000 participants attended our Public Festival on Saturday, February 18, 2023.

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

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

The 2024 dates will be announced later this year – stay tuned!
