Manchester Science Festival is an annual nine-day, multi-venue science festival that focuses on science, technology, engineering and maths. Held across Greater Manchester, the inaugural Manchester Science Festival was in 2007.

The Festival typically includes hands-on events for families as well as a programme of talks and debates for adults. Creative events are also central to the Festival programme; previous years have seen microbe knitting and Super K Sonic BOOUM, an installation designed by Nelly Ben Haoum, which aimed to interpret the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory in Japan.
