Shoreham, NY – July 1, 2025
– Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe invites the public to celebrate the 169th birthday of Nikola Tesla at the Nikola Tesla Expo 2025, a dynamic, family-friendly celebration of science, technology, and innovation. The event will take place on Saturday, July 12, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Tesla’s historic laboratory site in Shoreham, NY. Rain date: July 19. 

An Evening of Innovation and Inspiration 

Step onto the grounds of Nikola Tesla’s last remaining laboratory and into a world of imagination, creativity, and discovery. The Expo brings together exciting exhibits, hands-on activities, and engaging experiences for all ages—offering something for curious kids, inspired teens, and lifelong learners alike. 

Visitors can: 

  • Interact with hands-on exhibits in robotics, electric vehicles, renewable energy, and space exploration, including space artifacts from the Cradle of Aviation Museum 

  • Navigate a live virtual reality tour to Explore Wardenclyffe, Tesla’s historic lab 

  • Experience a special presentation by Shawn Barnes, Vice Chairman of the U.S. Space Force Association, alongside Mad Science’s Chemical Tesla Coil demonstration.  

  • Enjoy captivating talks from award-winning filmmaker Joe Sikorski, live music featuring Acoustic Downtime with Barbara Branca, and Nikola Tesla-inspired poetry performed by local artists. 

  • Meet innovators in the drone and aerospace fields who are building on Nikola Tesla’s legacy as the father of drone technology. 

  • Savor local flavor with craft beer from Blue Point Brewing, wine from Paumanok Vineyards, fresh oysters (while supplies last), and a delicious variety of food trucks, including Roll Ghost, Right Coast Taqueria, and ice cream by Mr. Softee. 

Drone Light Show Grand Finale 

The night will conclude in an unforgettable spectacle—Long Island’s largest Drone Light Show, brought to you by the Guinness World Record-holding Sky Elements Drone Shows. You may recognize them from their mic-dropping performance on America’s Got Talent! This innovative show is the perfect replacement for traditional fireworks, offering a stunning visual experience without environmental impact. Hundreds of electric, zero-emission drones will light up the sky in a mesmerizing, choreographed performance—a fun, sustainable, and environmentally friendly way to celebrate Nikola Tesla’s visionary dream of a connected, wireless future.
