Musicians, environmental activists and mindful Philadelphians all gathered on a roof in Olde Kensington last month to promote solar energy awareness and celebrate Philadelphia’s growing sustainability scene.

Dubbed “The Solar Party,” the event took place on top of the Crane Arts Building on Aug. 21, and was hosted by the solar company Solar States. More than 100 guests joined on the Philly rooftop to enjoy live music, local catering and information on solar energy all while basking in the city skyline.
