Science in the City’s 2026 street festival is taking place in Valletta on Friday, 25 September and Saturday, 26 September, with activities scheduled from 6pm to 11pm around Triton Fountain and the Biskuttin area.
The [festival organiser](https://scienceinthecity.org.mt/science-in-the-city-malta-2026-research-resist-reimagine-2/) describes this year’s theme as “Research, Resist, Reimagine”. The 2026 edition is the festival’s 15th and continues its mix of science, arts and public participation.
What visitors can expect
A [University of Malta programme listing](https://www.um.edu.mt/newspoint/upcomingevents/2026/scienceinthecityfestivalprogramme.html) describes the street festival as a free public event with more than 90 stands, experiments, games and installations. The published programme includes activities involving engineering, marine research, seismic monitoring, freshwater resources, environmental science, technology and the arts.
Individual activities have their own age guidance, times and booking arrangements. Visitors should use the organiser’s current programme before travelling rather than assume that every workshop has open capacity.
Sensory-friendly space listed for both evenings
The organiser’s event listings include a sensory-friendly room at Triton Fountain from 6pm to 11pm on both days. It is presented as an all-ages space where visitors can pause and take part in calmer sensory activities.
November performances are a separate part of the festival
The September dates cover the Valletta street festival. The programme also lists a separate performance and workshop festival for 6–7 November, so those performances should not be confused with this weekend’s schedule.
