Welcome To SolarFest

Welcome to SolarFest! For 14 years, we've been celebrating the power of renewable energy, the arts, and community action to change the world - the time is now.

Learn how: Over 60 workshops on renewable energy, sustainable living, the art of community, agriculture skills, green building, plus two solar-powered stages featuring great music.

Learning and inspiration thrive in the volunteer-powered SolarFest community every July. Together we create a world as it might be lived.
