EcoSummit Festival of Discovery & Innovation

Wednesday, March 31 through Saturday, April 3, EcoSummit 2027 brings together visionary thinkers, scientists, and innovators to explore a new future for Florida, one where thriving ecosystems, clean air and water, and regenerative cities support both nature and human health.

Free and open to the public, the hands-on Festival of Discovery and Innovation is where EcoSummit 2027 ideas bloom out of the Sarasota Opera House and into Five Points Park to touch, try, and take home.

Bring your curiosity and stay for the fun. The festival kicks off the evening of Friday, April 2, and continues throughout the day on Saturday, April 3, with both days offering a unique experience.

You won’t want to miss Friday night’s Solarpunk fashion show or Saturday’s impressive workshop line-up. Both days, delight in eco-arts performances, browse the juried Artifacts from Potential Futures exhibit, or explore an expo of innovator exhibits featuring living native landscapes, wildlife tech, drone demos, virtual reality, and more.

The Festival’s exhibits, experiences, and performances show, the future is not what it used to be.
