Solstice
One night of scientific celebration in support of a full year of scientific exploration!
Solstice—the Maryland Science Center’s annual fundraiser gala, is held each year to raise funds that support free admission for all Maryland school children and their teachers who visit as part of a field trip during the upcoming school year. Solstice also funds our outreach programs—Traveling Science Program, Ready Set Go Science and Family Science and Family Engineering Nights.
We look forward to celebrating with you at Solstice on Saturday, June 20 2026.
