BrainFest 2026

Have you ever wondered how you wonder? On March 21, 2026, curious families, friends, and neuroscience enthusiasts will once again gather at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center (PacSci) for BrainFest 2026—a day dedicated to exploring the incredible human brain.
This annual celebration, co-hosted by the Allen Institute and PacSci, brings together passionate volunteers and local STEM partners to create a vibrant, curiosity-filled experience. Visitors of all ages will dive into hands-on activities, explore interactive exhibits, watch live science presentations, and meet real neuroscientists who study how our brains make us who we are. You’ll even have the rare chance to see—and possibly touch—a real brain!
