Eastern States Exposition, home of The Big E, has presented the finest livestock, the most innovative commercial, industrial and artistic developments, and the highest caliber of varied entertainment to the people of the Northeastern United States for more than eight decades. More than one million people now attend the 17 day Big E, an annual autumn extravaganza of entertainment, exhibits and agriculture.
The Exposition of today features a cavalcade of trade and consumer shows and events, agricultural activities and competitions, horse shows and entertainment in addition to The Big E. During the year, the Exposition hosts over 100 such events including the Western Massachusetts Home Show, antiques and collectibles shows, food shows, a boat show, a sportsman’s show, EASTEC – the largest machine tool trade show in the East and many, many more. A majority of these events take place in the 123,000 square foot Better Living Center. Some utilize the entire 355,000 square feet of rental space available on the grounds.
