In Burien, there are limited opportunities for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals and BIPOC-owned businesses to interact, network, and enjoy the culture together. The Burien Solar Punk Festival was born to address that.
KeyTech Labs brings together enterprises and job seekers to connect over lived experience and passion for improving the world. Join us for a full day of engagement and networking.
The proceeds from The Burien Solar Punk Festival support future SunRise Events - YOUR Solar & Sustainability Community Fairs through showcasing Key Tech Labs' Green Jobs Expos, Mini Jobs Fairs, Small Business Expos, and Green Pre-Apprenticeship Program participants.
