California Freethought Day celebrates the First Amendment, scientific progress, secular rights, social justice, and civic engagement.
About this Event

Our 2025 theme is “One Nation, Indivisible: Liberty and Justice for All” as we explore the current administration’s growing attack on marginalized communities and the rise of Christian Nationalism.

California Freethought Day combines the fun and atmosphere of a fair with the education and activism of a conference. It's a festival of freethought.

Join us at our free event to celebrate freedom of speech and thought, civic engagement, enthusiasm for science, social justice, and the separation of church and state.

Our event will be outdoors at the California State Capitol Building and livestreamed via Facebook, YouTube, and more.
