Pollinator Palooza

The Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center (CALC) is excited to announce Pollinator Palooza, a free, family-friendly community event celebrating the bees, butterflies, and beetles that are essential to our food systems and ecosystems. The event will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Jack’s Solar Garden.

Open to all ages and free of charge, Pollinator Palooza invites families, educators, nature enthusiasts, and the curious community to gather for a morning of interactive learning and discovery. Attendees can look forward to hands-on “bugtivities” that make science fun and tangible, live pollinator displays featuring bees, butterflies, beetles, and more, as well as crafts, games, and educational activities for all ages – all set against the backdrop of one of the nation’s leading agrivoltaic research sites.

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged to assist with planning for materials and space. Community members can register here.
