The Festival will also be hosting lab and facility tours, in and around the UCSF Mission Bay Campus. These tours have very limited capacity and attendees must register online before the event.
These behind-the-scenes tours highlight the scientific wonders of the Bay Area. Each tour highlights local UCSF and Mission Bay resources and is led by someone who works in the science, technology, engineering, math or health fields.
The Bay Area Science Festival will manage all in-person events with the health, safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers, hosts, exhibitors, and guests in mind. In response to COVID-19, we will be implementing public health requirements for all event hosts and attendees in accordance with local and state guidelines in order to celebrate science safely throughout the Bay Area.
The Bay Area Science Festival encourages you to get vaccinated, wear a mask and practice social distancing. Be sure to check back for updated and more detailed COVID safety information prior to attending.
We strive to make all Bay Area Science Festival events free, when possible. To produce the Festival, we must annually raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Every donation helps us make this important work possible.
