Host an event!

The success of the Tennessee STEAM Festival depends upon collaboration. Local museums, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and businesses work together to develop events to encourage conversations and inspire curiosity about regional STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics).

Registration for the 2026 will open this summer! At that point, you will be able to use the button below to register your event. Applications for Signature Events will be due in July. To be included in the printed festival guide, applications must be submitted by September 1st, 2026. Events can be submitted throughout the duration of the festival, so if you found out about us last minute, no stress! Go ahead and fill out that form and we will get you added to the website.

If you have any questions about the festival or hosting an event, please contact Sarah Hicks by at (615) 890-2300 ext. 237 or shicks@explorethedc.org.
