The Big E
The Big E is a fair held in Springfield Mass every September. This year the fair started on September 18th and ends on October 4th. I try to go every year because there is so much to see and do. The gates open at 8am but everything else doesn't open/start until 10 am. I arrived at 10am and stayed until 7:30 pm. I suggest you park at gate 9. That is the largest parking lot and easy access to the gate. Cost to park there is $15. Cost to enter the fair is $20 and can be purchased at the gate. You do not have to purchase online and pay that extra online fee. There is a midway section with rides and games. The ride ticket is an additional $40 so I did not go on any rides. Food is everywhere! so much to choose from. I enjoyed a blooming onion for only $10. That was my appetizer to start the day. For lunch I went to a restaurant in the storrowtown section of the fair. "Storrow Town tavern" I was not happy with my burger. It tasted burnt, but my fries were delicious. Then later...
