The Big E 2023

Riley Kinzer, Staffwriter

The Big E, the largest fair in New England, is back and better than ever! For seventeen days in September, people from all over the region will flock to Springfield, Massachusetts, for a celebration of food, music, and fun. 

There will be over 200 food vendors offering everything from classic New England favorites like clam chowder and lobster rolls to international fare like Mexican, Lebanese, Chinese, Greek, German, Polish, and Italian. Of course there will be fan favorite desserts like the famous Big E Cream Puff, key-lime-pie-on-a-stick, and maple bacon donuts. 

There will also be live music, entertainment, and agricultural exhibits for fair-goers to enjoy. Artists Third Eye Blind, Zedd, and Parker McCollum are scheduled to perform. There will also be a daily parade, circus acts, and a petting zoo. And what fair would be complete without a Midway? There will be rides like the classic Ferris wheel and the heart-stopping Sling Shot along with tons of games for all ages.

Whether you’re a first-time goer or a longtime fan, don’t miss the 2023 Big E! There will be food, fun, and entertainment for everyone.
