Sun Day Solar Fest
Third Act Illinois and 350 Chicago hosted the Sun Day Solar Fest on Chicago's beautiful Lake Michigan shore — a joyful celebration of the power of the sun.
Over 30 groups — from solar installers and nonprofits to justice organizations and houses of worship — joined the festivities to recognize the advances in solar energy, shared fun activities and easy ways to go solar, including community solar that can save 15–20% on your electric bill.
The day was packed with family-friendly fun as we cheered the miracle of solar — part of the global clean energy wave, where 95% of new power last year came from solar, wind, and batteries!
Festival highlights:
Expert advice on all things solar
Live music featuring Chicago Blues, folk, and jazz
Hands-on science activities for all ages
Parade with flash mob dancers & giant puppets
Games under a giant sun parachute
Plant & seed giveaways (nature’s solar panels!)
And more!
