Eastern States Exposition’s annual fair, The Big E, continually attracts more than 1.5 million visitors, and in 2022, an all-time single-day attendance record was set when 177,789 visitors attended the second Saturday of the Fair. Our staff at our Transportation Center greets more than 800 motor coaches of tour groups during the 17-day event.
