The Eastern States Exposition is New England’s great state fair, and the ninth largest fair in North America, running for over two weeks beginning in mid-September.
Nicknamed “The Big E,” it features free entertainment, a circus, the Avenue of States, thrill shows, New England history and agriculture exhibits, handicrafts, animals, rides, shops, a parade every day, and lots of food stands and eateries.
The Connecticut Authors and Publishers Association will be celebrating its fifth year of having the Big E Bookstore. This is housed in the Connecticut Building on the Avenue of the States. During each of the 17 days of the Big E Celebration, there will be authors autographing their books in the bookstore which will be filled with books written by local Connecticut authors.
