The theme for 2026 is “Think Local”, with a specific focus on food and celebration. This is because the festival’s parent organisation, the Highlands and Islands Climate Hub, will celebrate its 5th Birthday in the same month! The Highlands and Islands Climate Hub was one of two pilot projects to support community-led climate action, and is now part of a network of 24 Hubs all over Scotland, funded by Scottish Government.

The banner image is of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (from Newburgh beach). This is an offshore wind farm which began its life in 2003 and was used as a test case of offshore wind, for other projects around the world to learn and build upon. It was objected to by Donald Trump for spoiling the view from his golf course, which caused great ecological harm to the local sand dunes, and his objections were defeated in court in 2014 and 2015.

The icon image is an amalgamation of the logo from https://slrpnk.net/c/ireland (given a Scottish twist) and a Solarpunk logo created originally by @roguecache and tweaked by @crazyminner@lemmy.ml.
