Allegheny SolarFest 2015

This weekend, when the sun is at its furthest point from the equator, us folks in the northern hemisphere will enjoy the longest day of the year.

More sunlight equals more time to spend in the beautiful outdoors and that's cause for celebration: Join us for the annual Allegheny SolarFest, this Saturday at Millvale Riverfront Park.

At this free, family-friendly event, you’ll be able to learn about solar initiatives in western PA and enjoy fun activities for the whole family. From electric cars and bikes to a rock climbing wall, they'll have it all. There will also be live music, food trucks, and local craft beer to keep you entertained throughout the day.

Swing by Allegheny SolarFest, rain or shine, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. this Saturday, June 20. Attendance is free but please register. And did we mention that the entire event will be powered by solar? How cool is that?!
