Can you benefit from clean energy? If you live on planet Earth, the answer is Yes!

Join the nation-wide celebration of the power of solar and wind in a parade on the Ledyard Bridge and festival on the Norwich Green. The parade starts at the Hanover end of the Ledyard Bridge, right near the Earth globe (look for it and a big Sun on Sun Day), crosses the Ledyard Bridge, then follows the road to the Norwich green and a range of energy activities and demos of solar and electric technologies with many local partners. 10:30 am is the start of the parade, 11 am -1 pm for activities on the green.
