Proud Partners of the San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering

The 17th annual San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering is scheduled to return on March 1, 2025 at Petco Park! This event is free and open to the public, attracts over 20,000 attendees each year, and hosts over 150 exhibitors.

The San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering is a collective effort between industry, business leaders, government, community organizations, public outreach centers, academia, schools and school districts, and parents. It has evolved to become a comprehensive San Diego County community event that celebrates the diverse cultures, communities, and populace of San Diego and works to inspire the next generation of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) visionaries.
