From Bellingham to Bow, Let’s Celebrate Sun Day Together
September 21, 2025 is Sun Day, a national day of action to celebrate solar and renewable energy. Communities around the country are advocating for strong climate policy, celebrating the wins we’ve made, and pushing for a clean energy future. Whether you are attending a formal Sun Day event, exploring solar for your home, or simply supporting a local business leading the way, your actions help shape the future of solar and renewable energy.
Here are the Top 5 Ways to Celebrate Sun Day in the Pacific Northwest, which also happens to fall the day before the September solar equinox this year:
5. Visit the Solar-Powered Guemes Island General Store
Spend some quality island time enjoying homemade sandwiches, organic cheeses, meats, and produce from this solar-powered community hub that’s way more than a general store.
4. Support WWU Students for Renewable Energy
Stand with students encouraging their foundation & alumni association to divest from fossil fuels. Personalize their Sun Day postcard and share why divestment matters to you.
3. toast to solar with solar powered beverages!
From sunup to sundown! Enjoy Woods Coffee at Boulevard Park in the morning, followed by dinner and a beverage at Bellingham Cider Company in the evening! Wood’s Coffee is powered by solar, fresh-baked treats, and good vibes. Bellingham Cider Company’s production facility and restaurant are 100% solar powered! We can’t think of a better way to bookend Sun Day!
4. Oyster Shooters at The Corner Pub
The Corner Pub, “located in the middle of nowhere, on your way to somewhere,” is a solar-powered, family-owned restaurant that’s calling your name. Just outside of Bow, WA, this all-ages gathering spot is sure to power your family with plenty of options for food, drinks, and even oyster shooters.
1. generate your own clean energy from the sun
Make every day Sun Day by generating your own clean energy from the sun using your home or business’s roof! Of course we’re biased, but we can’t help but encourage people to take action today towards increasing their energy independence, self-sufficiency, and contributing to our shared energy future by going solar.
