Mark your calendar! Next month - Saturday, February 18 - is the St. Pete Science Festival in conjunction with MarineQuest. Kids and adults will have opportunity to explore science and technology first hand with over 40 exhibits from NOAA, USF, Firestone Grand Prix, and more. This is a free event held at USF St. Pete campus, Poynter Park and Florida Fish and Wildlife along the waterfront.
February 18th is also the same day as Localtopia, Tampa Bay Collard Greens Festival, and other fabulous events.
