📍Getting here

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.

As always, we encourage everyone to be courteous to pedestrians, local businesses, construction crews, and fellow visitors. Thank you for helping make this a welcoming and enjoyable event for the entire community.

Kids Activities

The Fair features fun and educational activities for kids. Young energy explorers won't want to miss this hands-on learning zone with Spark! Children's Museum of Montana. Kids can experiment with a fan-powered scarf cannon to see the power of moving air and use a energy conversion crank kit to generate their own electricity while learning how renewable energy works. It's an interactive experience that makes science, engineering, and clean energy accessible for the whole family. We will also have arts & crafts, face painting, and a cotton candy machine. Spark your curiosity and a passion for energy!
