About the NC Science Festival

Founded in 2010, the North Carolina Science Festival is the first statewide science festival in the United States. Through a series of community-based events each April (hosted by schools, colleges, libraries, museums, parks, businesses, and other local organizations), the Festival celebrates the economic, educational, and cultural impacts of science in North Carolina. It is an initiative of the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For more information, please visit ncscifest.org.

The annual Statewide Star Party is made possible through the NC Space Grant.
