WHO WE ARE
The Big E is America’s Premier Exposition and the world’s only multi-state fair, representing all six New England states. We host more than a million guests for 17 days each September. The Big E is one the top 10 fairs in North America based on attendance.
Eastern States Exposition’s signature event features concerts, unique foods, the finest and most competitive livestock shows in North America, horse shows, shopping, rides, a circus, the Avenue of States and Storrowton Village Museum.
With 106 years of history, The Big E has become a New England experience like none other.
OUR MISSION
Eastern States Exposition is a not-for-profit corporation committed to excellence in providing year-round opportunities for the development and promotion of agriculture, education, industry and family entertainment while preserving our New England heritage.
“This was a Fair like no other. We hosted 1,603,354 guests, set six daily attendance records, including our biggest day ever and one on a rainy day! In addition, we welcomed 70 new vendors, experienced unprecedented media coverage and social engagement, and had a “space chat” with an astronaut on the International Space Station. We are appreciative of our sponsors’ enthusiastic support, creativity and unique contributions that help us create this experience and community. The Big E would not be the dynamic fair that it is without you!”
Eugene J. Cassidy, President and CEO
