Solar Fest

SolarFest started with an innovative idea: Hold a festival that showcases the power and possibilities of solar energy. Since its inception in 1995, SolarFest promotes artistic excellence and community-building while providing both general and detailed information on a wide range of sustainable living topics. And the entire festival, including the ultra-professional sound and lights on our main stage, ran on renewable energy! We pioneered this concept: inviting a few thousand people to a festival in Vermont to show that SOLAR WORKS.

After over 25 successful years, SolarFest has achieved many of the things we set out to do. Vermont is now a leader in the renewable energy industry, with Rutland being named the “Solar Capital of New England” and its largest city, Burlington Vermont, having successfully become the first city in the United States to run on 100% renewable energy. Vermont also now has the most solar jobs per capita in the US. We see the success of renewable energy across the country and, with the result from the Paris Climate Agreement, the rest of the world as well.
