Astronomy on Tap @ Fredericton
Public Events
Location: Picaroon Brewing Company, 912 Union St. Fredericton, NB
Date: October 9, 2025
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm
We’re back on the road, taking Astronomy on Tap to the University of New Brunswick!
This free event is at the Picaroon Brewing Company (912 Union St, Fredericton) on Thursday, Oct 9th, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
We will host three fantastic astroparticle physicists at the cutting edge of their fields: physicists Tony Noble (Queen’s), Christine Kraus (SNOLAB), and William Woodley (University of Alberta).
There will be time to ask questions and chat with the speakers and other local scientists. All three of our engaging researchers will speak to a general public audience, so no prior science knowledge is needed – though you may want to brush up on your astronomy, physics and sci-fi knowledge to compete in the trivia session! 🧠 Not to worry, though; there are prizes for the winners, losers, and creatives alike! 🎁
The event is free and 19+.
Picaroons serves alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks, and food is available for purchase.
Space is limited, so we encourage you to arrive on time! The pre-show starts at 6:30 pm, and the main event begins at 7 pm.
