The Maine Science Festival (MSF) showcases the science (and technology) happening in Maine, using the format and structure of an arts or music festival, and targets the general public with events for all ages. Using forums, workshops, talks, art exhibits, film screenings, and hands-on activities, we produce events that focus on the science happening and being used in Maine. We bring Maine science
to the public.

Some additional information:
The Maine Science Festival (MSF) is an independently funded program of the Maine Discovery Museum, and is the first and only science festival in Maine. The MSF launched in 2015 and is a celebration of the national and world leading science by the Mainers who do it. At our five day March festival we host more than 70 + activities and events throughout Downtown Bangor and at the Cross Insurance Center, showcasing the remarkable work happening in Maine daily. With forums, shows, talks, art exhibits, trivia nights, and an array of workshops and hands-on activities, we bring Maine science to the public. Since our inaugural festival in 2015, more than 50,000 people have joined us to celebrate Maine science, and we are proud to highlight not only the remarkable work happening everyday throughout Maine, but the remarkable people who make it happen. In addition to the festival, we also produce the Maine Science Podcast: conversations with some of the Mainers who do and use science in Maine. You’ll find out what we know: Maine scientists and engineers are among the best in the country and the world, and that science is everywhere!
