At this late date, our LEAP volunteers have not been able to find a replacement venue that meets our needs, our schedule, or the schedule of our exhibitors and speakers. If you or someone you know planned to attend the fair please let them know it is cancelled and update your calendars.

We hope to host a workshop event this Spring, will plan to hold our usual EV fest this summer and look forward to next year’s Energy Fair. You can find more on the Waterbury LEAP website.
