43rd Annual Festival of the Fountains

On Friday, July 23, nearly 500 people attended the 43rd Annual Festival of the Fountains: A Cosmic Evening Celebrating Science. Pacific Science Center extends our deepest thanks to this year's Festival Chairs - Mona and Peter Bailey - for their incredible dedication to making the 43rd Annual Festival of the Fountains a spectacular and successful event.
Festival
Throughout the evening, guests were immersed in a Pacific Science Center experience. Discovery Corp teen interns greeted guests as they arrived, providing them the opportunity to experience first-hand the interactive science education programs offered every day at the Science Center.

During the cocktail reception, guests were entertained by incredible jazz music from Garfield Quartet and Four to the Flour, student ensembles from the acclaimed Garfield, Nathan Hale and Roosevelt High School Jazz Bands. They also experienced amazing performances by Nomadic Circus, including aerial acts, a contortionist, stilt walker and more.
Festival
After a delicious dinner served among the fountains in the Yamasaki Courtyard, guests danced beneath the iconic Arches to the music of Sonic Funk Orchestra, relaxed in the Eames Ultra Lounge, saw IMAX films, experienced outdoor laser shows and explored the Science Center's exhibits searching for clues to the Science Whiz Quiz challenge.

In addition to being a fun and memorable evening, Festival of the Fountains provides important support for Pacific Science Center. Funds raised will directly support the Science Center's many onsite and outreach education programs.
Festival
An event like this would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Amgen, The Boeing Company, Caffe Vita, Geda and Phil Condit and Family, Group Health Cooperative, Microsoft Corporation, PACCAR Inc., PEMCO Insurance Companies and The Seattle Times.

Pacific Science Center is an independent not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization and receives no general operating support from the City of Seattle. We rely on memberships, ticket sales and donations from individuals, corporations and foundations, as well as funds raised from events like Festival of the Fountains. Every year, Pacific Science Center serves over one million people and brings hands-on science education across Washington state through programs such as Science On Wheels, Discovery Corps, and school group field trips to experience our exhibits and IMAX films. Since its inception, Festival has raised millions of dollars to support these effective programs.
