Host a Science on the Square Event

Friday, October 14 | 5-9 p.m.

Back by popular demand, the Wisconsin Science Festival is looking to partner with downtown Madison organizations for the fifth-annual Science on the Square event.

Looking for Downtown Business and Venue Partners

Businesses located in Madison’s Central Business Improvement District are invited to join the fun! Event audiences range from adults enjoying a Friday night out to families wanting to explore together. Event is headquartered at the top of State Street and all venues are promoted using the festival website and program map. This year our event is looking to include indoor hands-on science activities at downtown businesses as well as outdoor tabling opportunities spanning State St.   There will be plenty of fun for all ages!  If interested, email Sam, at [email protected] (Deadline to register is August 1)

Activities could include:

  • Tastings
  • Special discounts or products
  • Tours
  • Scavenger hunt location
  • Demonstrations
  • Hands-on stations
  • Appearance of the #WiSciFest mascot, Beesly 
  • Much more

Festival coordinators will work with you to create a safe and fun experience that makes sense for your location!
