Global celebration of Dark Matter Day planned with events around the world

Each year, on and around October 31, particle physics laboratories, universities, and institutions around the world celebrate Dark Matter Day. Members of the public are invited to join both in-person and virtual events that include talks, activities, and fun for all ages.

Dark Matter Day is an international outreach initiative that aims to share the search for dark matter with public events that highlight what we know about dark matter, the many experiments seeking to solve this mystery, and the value of devoting scientific resources to unraveling this cosmic riddle.

• Media interested in finding a 2024 Dark Matter Day event in their own coverage area can find a list here.
• Institutions and organizations interested in hosting a Dark Matter Day event can learn more here.

Take a deeper dive into the topic of dark matter by tuning into Particle Mysteries: The Coldest Case, a podcast about the search for dark matter. New episodes will be released this October.

Dark Matter Day is sponsored by the Interactions Collaboration, an international community of particle physics communication specialists.
