ClimateFest
Saturday, September 20, 2025
10 am–4 pm
Ahead of Climate Week NYC, join us for ClimateFest, a full-day celebration of science, sustainability, and community! This all-ages event brings the science of climate change to life through hands-on activities, communal art projects, pop-up presentations, and live demonstrations across the Museum.
On your visit, you can:
- Watch dynamic performances from Indigenous Enterprise as they light up the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life with the power of powwow song and dance.
- Explore the Museum’s new investigation-driven Climate Learning Lab, designed for ages 8 and up, to find out about climate change, and what we can do to address our warming planet.
- Contribute to a community climate art project and join discussions with Climate Cafe and Climate Imaginarium on how to process climate emotions, including grief, hope, anxiety, and joy.
- Experience Eyes on Earth, a live visualization station where scientists will demonstrate how satellite research is helping us understand the impacts of climate change on our planet.
- See a documentary, create keepsakes out of recyclables, participate in demonstrations—and more!
Additional community groups and organizations participating in ClimateFest include Solar One, Billion Oyster Project, Rainbow Garden of Life & Health, Lonely Whale, The Nature Conservancy, and NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
