Winterfest

For decades, SCEE members reveled at Winterfest, a celebration of the winter season. Our favorite seasonal festival returns on the first night of winter, as SCEE teams up with WXPN's Kid's Corner to present a solstice celebration for the entire family.


Kid's Corner's marvelous host, Kathy O'Connell, will preside over the festivities, which feature many favorite guests from the show. Brush up on your astronomy while stargazing with the Franklin Institute's Derrick Pitts, enjoy a wintry walk through the woods with SCEE's own Mike Weilbacher, the "All-Natural Science Guy" on the show, and join librarian Joe Hilton for storytime in the bookstore. Chemist Dr. Lisa Chirlian presents a live version of "Science Fact and Fiction," her Science Thursday game show.

And what winter festival would be complete without roasted marshmallows, s'mores and something warm to wet your whistle? Join us for the festivities.
