During the last weekend in April, the City of Cambridge holds the first of its kind science festival in the country. 2009 is the 3rd festival run, and the intention is to keep it going annually.

"The Festival's collaborators – MIT, Harvard University, the City of Cambridge, Cambridge Public Schools, Cambridge Public Library, WGBH, and the Museum of Science – reach out to K-12 students, the general public, and the science community, to excite and ignite curiosity."
