Event Details
🎉 Get ready to take a delicious trip down memory lane, because Curious Histories Fest is BACK!
On Saturday, June 14, the Science History Institute's free annual celebration of science, history, exploration, and experimentation returns for a third year!
Curious Histories Fest highlights a new theme each year. Inspired by our current exhibition, Lunchtime: The History of Science on the School Food Tray, this year’s “What’s for Lunch?” theme explores the history of food science and efforts to feed children in U.S. schools.
This free, daylong event features hands-on activities and family-friendly fun, as well as exciting talks, tours, and highlights from our special collections. Come enjoy some free ice cream, then visit our museum for:
Free food samples: enjoy ice cream and other school lunch-themed treats
Hands-on activities: participate in crafts, food-themed board games, and interactive displays
Live music & demos: experience cooking demonstrations with Vetri Mobile Teaching Kitchen, live music with DJ Duiji Mshinda, and play some Double Dutch with Philly Girls Jump in our “recess yard”
Meet special guests: other vendors will be joining us, including Fishtown Pickle Project, Bennett Compost, Spotted Horse Provisions, La Llamita Vegana, the Society of Flavor Chemists, Monell Chemical Senses Center, and more! Plus, the first 100 visitors will receive a free Lunchtime lunchbox!
It’s a jam-packed day full of fun and flavor, and it’s all FREE. Visit sciencehistory.org/fest for more info.
