Maryland Science Center's 48th Annual Solstice Gala
Each year, on the Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice, friends of the Science Center gather to recognize the important work that takes place each and every day at the Science Center and out in the community across the entire State of Maryland.
Funds raised through Solstice 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 invite you to join the party and support our mission to inspire, empower, and engage. Let’s science. Let’s party!

The Maryland Science Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a community that shares our love of science by creating connections through innovative programs, authentic experiences, and advocacy for our mission. All proceeds from Solstice help underwrite the free admission policy and help ensure that future generations of students will continue to visit for free on a field trip.
