Friday, September 18

Join us on Opening Day of The Big E as we honor the brave individuals who serve and have served in the United States Armed Forces. Military Appreciation Day is our heartfelt thank you to the heroes in uniform, past and present.

In 2019 the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Services declared that The Big E was the single biggest connecting point for veterans to veterans services; over 8,000 connections made in a single day.

All Active Duty service members and their dependents, as well as retired military and veterans (no dependents), receive free admission to the Fair with presentation of a valid military ID at the gates.

We salute your service. Come enjoy a day of entertainment, tradition and celebration at The Big E!
