For more than a decade, the Fair has helped thousands of Montanans discover practical ways to save money, increase energy resilience, and connect with local experts and advocates for renewable energy and sustainable living in our state. The Montana Clean Energy Fair takes place on the 100 Block of Central Avenue in downtown Great Falls, right alongside the Great Falls Farmers Market. Make a morning of it by exploring both events and supporting the incredible local businesses, artisans, and vendors that make downtown a vibrant place. Parking is available on nearby streets and in public parking areas surrounding the 100 Block. Please note that downtown construction may affect some routes and parking access, so consider allowing a little extra travel time and following posted detour signs.
