Believed to be the longest running solar potluck in the world, this year marks the 25th annual community celebration of the sun. Experience the flavors of solar-cooked food and enjoy solar-powered music, family activities, solar appliances and exhibitions (ovens, fountains, coolers, lights, water heating, electrical systems) and solar arts. Held in concert with Arizona State Parks 50th Anniversary, this year’s celebration features solar-cooked food, live music on the solar- powered stage, the Solar Petting Zoo, talks on no-, low-, mid- and higher-cost solar energy, the Biodiesel School Bus Learning Lab, Solar Energy Timeline and the Tea House of the Rising Sun with the potluck at 5pm. Bring your own oven and join us for cooking (oven set-up by 9:30am, event opens to the public at 10am) or if you do not cook with us, visit with us and bring some “solar” food to share: salad, watermelon, berries, etc. Ice is always welcome. Bring your own eating utensils (plate/bowl and fork/spoon) and help make Tucson’s Solar Potluck a waste-free event. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, a brimmed hat and sunscreen. The festival will be held come sun, rain or wind!
