From the reviews

Wonderful fairgrounds really top notch... Super organized alot of security and a lot of options for food entertainment shopping and so on. Bountiful places to sit with abundance of shade. Everything is clean inviting and friendly. May be around 100k folks but def everyone's got space.

Whoa! This place is fantastic! So much to do and even more to see! The food was tasty no matter what vendor you got it from. Refillable cups we're awesome to have! The attractions were great, especially the pig race and Blue Brothers cover band. Everything was exceptionally clean and well taken care of.

★★★★☆ — Rich, Sep 2018

My family likes to go to the Big E every year. There’s so so many things to do and see. We go through the 6 state houses and buy food and crafts local to each state: a loaded Maine baked potato, RI Del’s Lemonade, NH Maple cotton candy, Vermont cheese and more.

★★★★★ — Kim, Sep 2024

Great time for all! Saw some awesome Concerts for free included in the ticket price. Like Chubby Checker, Seals & Crofts 2, Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band, Sister Hazel, The Band Perry, Finger Eleven. Some of the best fresh food around.
