The East Campus Discovery Days at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is a fun, family-friendly event for all ages. It’s more than a farmer’s market. It’s more than a science day. Come for the hands-on, science focused fun. Stay to enjoy live music and food trucks. Shop at our farmers market and vendor fair. Enjoy a scoop of ice cream at the newly renovated UNL Dairy Store. Take in the beauty of the Backyard Farmer garden. Activities are free, food and crafts are available for purchase.
The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources will host three Discovery Days events this summer, starting June 13. Held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. around the East Campus loop and surrounding spaces, Discovery Days connect youth and families with the people, programs and research shaping Nebraska’s future in agriculture and natural resources.
The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture will host several booths and a tour June 13 including:
