8 a.m. ~ Run on the Sun 5k
9 a.m. – 4 p.m. ~ Festival & Expo
Cost: FREE! Each year on the first Saturday in May, Solar San Antonio fuses solar education and entertainment to provide the San Antonio community with a first-hand glimpse at available solar technologies and innovations. We bring the community out to enjoy live music, solar demonstrations, food, and fun under the live oaks of Maverick Park. An important annual event for South Texas, Solar Fest provides valuable information to the public about renewable energy technologies, the impact of sustainable living, and green building techniques. At Solar Fest 2010, all of the electricity was derived from solar and Redi-fuel’s soy-based biodiesels (thanks to power generators from J-Squared Services!). From the solar-powered stage, tent talks, exhibitor booths, 5K start/finish line, and Radio Disney stage, Solar San Antonio ensured that Solar Fest was all renewably powered. Entertainment and energy efficiency! About Solar San Antonio:
