Your Guide to Going Green at Fiesta del Sol

Get ready to kick off summer the Solana Beach way! Fiesta del Sol returns next weekend for its 44th year, bringing two full days of live music, local art, delicious food, and coastal fun to our vibrant community. Hosted by the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce and Belly Up, this FREE event is the biggest street fair in Solana Beach. This year, attendees can take part in a variety of eco-friendly ways that help keep Solana Beach clean and green.

Ride your Bike. Get your bikes out and take advantage of the free bike valet conveniently located in front of Dirty Dogs off Plaza Street. This complimentary service lets you enjoy the festivities stress-free, knowing your bike is safely secured and monitored. Not only is this an opportunity to get some exercise, but it also helps reduce parking congestion and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. 

Bring a Water Bottle. Stay hydrated while out in the sun and enjoying the fun by bringing your own water bottle. Look for the big blue water station flag at Fletcher Cove Park to get a refill for your bottle. If you happen to forget your bottle, just stop by the City of Solana Beach information booth and grab a free reusable bottle while supplies last. You can say hello to our amazing staff who help keep Solana Beach running smoothly and take a spin on the prize wheel to win other fun sustainable items!

Use the Green and Blue Bins. Just like at home, Fiesta del Sol has green and blue waste bins for easy food disposal and recycling. Don't know which to use? Our Junior Commissioners will be nearby to help you at the waste sorting station in the food court so you can get it right! They’ll be there all weekend to help you and answer questions on how to properly compost and recycle your plates, utensils, and leftovers.
