The Philadelphia Science Festival is an annual free science festival held in Philadelphia. The festival is organized and managed by the Franklin Institute.

The inaugural event was held from April 15, 2011, through April 28, 2011..[1][2] Subsequently, the festival has been held every year in the second half of April. The festival stretches over a number of days and features events held throughout the city. It culminates with a Festival on Saturday that is typically held on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

Mission

The stated mission of the festival is to bring together Philadelphia's schools, universities, cultural institutions and research centers as a single, united voice to put science in the spotlight. Scientists and engineers come together to present fun, interactive programs for Philadelphians of all ages.[3]
