The biggest science celebration in Québec

Every year,
science comes
out to play!

EURÊKA! FESTIVAL 2026

THIS 19th EDITION WINS THE GOLD, THANKS TO YOU!

THEME 2026 : SCIENCE IN MOTION
Where sport meets science

In 2026, Eurêka! Festival sets Science in Motion. The same force that launches a sprinter off the blocks powers a scientist in the lab.

The Eurêka! Festival attracted nearly 44,000 festivalgoers for a sizzling exploration of science and sports at Parc Jean-Drapeau!

Thanks to nearly 150 free, participative activities, curious and science-minded audiences of all ages got an opportunity to meet with highly dedicated scientists, athletes, and specialists and discover the fascinating links between sports, innovation, and cutting-edge science.

From health, neuroscience, environmental science, and nutrition… to engineering, math, aerospace, physics, kinesiology, sports tech, biomimetics, and AI… young visitors and their families explored a full array of science by getting hands-on with tech, meeting face-to-face with highly engaged experts, and exploring how science helps us push the boundaries and achieve new heights.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PARTNERS, STAFF, PROGRAM PROVIDERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND ALL OUR VISITORS FOR THEIR PRESENCE AND COMMITMENT TO SCIENCE!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR TO CELEBRATE EURÊKA!’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY!

« Developing a culture of innovation is a priority for Québec’s future, and it must begin within our families, with our young people! The Eurêka! Festival is exactly what we need to make that happen. What a wonderful opportunity to spark a passion for science and technology. It is also a great moment for companies and organizations in the field to introduce themselves to the public and to inspire the next generation through countless interactive and engaging activities. »
