What is WiSciFest?

10 Days of Events

What began as a 3-day festival has expanded to 10 days of events in celebration of our 16th festival, with additional pre- and post-festival opportunities!

56 Counties

Over the last 15 years, the festival has grown from events in one county to having host sites in 56 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.

All Ages

With events ranging from guided nature hikes, story times, hands-on expos, and lectures at pubs, the festival is truly for all ages and interests with something for everyone!

Art + Science

The Wisconsin Science Festival was founded on the notion that art and science go hand-in-hand. Many of our events highlight this intersection between science and the arts.
