Arts-Entertainment
The Yellowstone Bend Citizens Council (YBCC), in partnership with Wheatgrass Books, the City of Livingston, Neptune’s Brewery, and other local partners, invites the community to celebrate SunDay 2025 with a two-part event that combines art, family fun, and clean energy action.
The weekend kicks off on Saturday, September 20th, with a Community Fingerpainting Party at Wheatgrass Books from
11 am to 12:30 pm located at 120 N Main Street. Children and families will create vibrant painted suns that will later be used as colorful site markers along the Sun Day Bike Tour route. These joyful works of art guide riders from solar installation to solar installation, showcasing both the creativity of Livingston’s youth and the power of renewable energy in our community.
The celebration continues on Sunday, September 21st, with a Community Bike Ride from 1 to 3 pm, beginning at Wheatgrass Books. Cyclists of all ages are invited to ride together to seven solar-powered sites around town, where they’ll hear stories and testimony from local solar owners. Each stop will be marked by the children’s fingerpainted suns, connecting the art project to the clean energy journey. The ride concludes at Neptune’s Brewery, where participants can enjoy a celebratory drink (if over 21 years old) and enter a raffle for books on solar energy.

“By starting with art and carrying it through to the bike ride, we’re bringing creativity, fun, and community connection to the forefront of Sun Day,” said organizers from YBCC. “The fingerpainted suns will not only brighten our solar tour but also symbolize the bright, renewable future we’re working toward together.”
