The 2019 InterPlanetary Festival will take place June 14-16 in Santa Fe, NM
The first Interplanetary Festival in June 2018 attracted thousands of space enthusiasts to downtown Santa Fe. The 2019 event is going to be bigger and better, with leading thinkers, creators, and scientists reimagining our future as a species.
Join celebrity physicist Sean Carroll, author and urban designer Nicholas de Monchaux, essayist Cyree Jarelle Johnson, chef and restaurateur Mark Miller, Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Rebecca Roanhorse, and sci-fi novelists Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, co-authors of “The Expanse” series under the pen name James S.A. Corey.
View complex challenges through an interplanetary lens in our provocative series of panel discussions — Building Life From Scratch, Creative Black Futures, Diverse Intelligences, Extremophile Cities, Time, Vintage Space Technologies, and World Building.
Geek out on moon suits, explore interactive expo booths, watch classic sci-fi film screenings, and enjoy live musical performances by The Family Stone, Itchy-O, Lindy Vision, The Lost Aliens, The Sticky, That1Guy, and Tone Ranger.
The 2019 festival takes place in Santa Fe's Railyard Park and indoors at SITE Santa Fe — a contemporary art space.
