Join the Academy for a wild weekend celebrating more than a few of our favorite (invertebrate) things. From the thrilling return of the famous Roach Races to scientist-led Bug Walks on the Parkway, there’s something for everyone — kids and adults alike.
Discover the unexpected insect biodiversity of your local park, explore rare and newly discovered specimens from the Academy’s world-class Entomology collection and spark your curiosity at our “Ask the Experts” station, where scientists of all stripes share their bug knowledge.
Connect with Academy researchers and fellow bug enthusiasts about the fascinating ways invertebrates shape science, conservation and our communities. Plus, don’t miss our incredible outdoor marketplace that will highlight local artists and artisans inspired by the natural world.
