An open-air festival in Moscow dedicated to popular science, technology and art, held since 2014 after starting in St. Petersburg in 2011. Geek Picnic pairs public science lectures with robotics, drone and 3D-printing displays across themed outdoor zones, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each summer edition.
Geek Picnic began on New Holland Island in St.
Geek Picnic grew from a 1,500-visitor gathering on St
Petersburg's New Holland Island in 2011 into an event drawing more than 25,000 people per city by the mid-2010s, and it expanded internationally to Israel in 2016
Its lecture roster has included cosmonauts, MythBusters host Jamie Hyneman, and biologist-broadcaster Richard Dawkins, alongside figures with bionic prosthetics who demonstrate adaptive technology on stage
The festival organizes its grounds into fixed theme zones, Science, Technology, Art and Picnic, that recur every year, giving it a consistent structure rare among one-off tech expos and letting it double as both a family day out and a genuine showcase of Russian engineering and robotics work
