Maine Public is very pleased to once again be the Atmospheric Media Sponsor for the 2025 Maine Science Festival (MSF). Held in Bangor each March, this year's festival takes place from March 19 to March 23. Like an art festival or film festival, the Maine Science Festival has over seventy events and activities over five days, all focused on science in Maine. Check out the entire program of events HERE.
The MSF is an amazing celebration of all aspects of science and fosters a connection to science for people from an amazing variety of backgrounds. Individuals who may not have formerly seen themselves as 'interested’ in science or even identified as 'scientists' walk away from each festival inspired to pursue new passions, ask new questions, and communicate the value of science as practitioners themselves. There is guaranteed to be something of interest for everyone!
For more details, updates, and information, visit the festival’s website at mainesciencefestival.org.

The Rockland Public Library presents a screening of Bulls and Saints by Rodrigo Dorfman and Peter Eversoll on Thursday, March 20 at 2:00 PM. This event is free and open to all.
After 20 years of living in the United States, an undocumented family decides to return home. Little do they know it will be the most difficult journey of their lives. Set between the backdrop of the rodeo rings of North Carolina and the spellbinding Mexican hometown they long for, Bulls and Saints is a love story of reverse migration, rebellion, and redemption. Bulls and Saints was co-produced by Nuevo South, LLC and Firelight Media in association with American Documentary/POV and Latino Public Broadcasting, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
This program will be shown simultaneously in the library’s Community Room and via Zoom; the Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union Street. For more information or for links to attend via Zoom, please email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov by 12:00 PM on March 20.
