Join us for a day of community, creativity, and celebration at Solarfest: The Gathering! This free family-friendly festival brings together music, art, workshops, local vendors, delicious food, and activities for all ages.
Located at the beautiful Solarfest Center in Brandon, Vermont, The Gathering is a celebration of sustainability, community connection, and the joy of coming together under the summer sun.
Whether you're dancing to live music, browsing local crafts, participating in hands-on workshops, or letting the kids explore our children's area, there's something for everyone at The Gathering.
