Arizona Insect Festival 2025

13th Annual Insect Fest 2025!

The University of Arizona’s Department of Entomology hosts this unique event to encourage understanding of our local insects. During the free, single-day Festival each Fall, thousands of visitors engage in interactive exhibits and learn about insects and the insect-based research taking place at the UA and beyond! This is a fun event for adults and kids alike. Expect to spend 2-4 hours exploring all of the exhibits and booths. This year’s theme insect is the bordered mantis!
