Discover the Iconic Eastern States Exposition - The Big E Xfinity Arena

Located in the heart of New England, the Eastern States Exposition - The Big E Xfinity Arena in West Springfield, Massachusetts, is a central hub for regional entertainment, agricultural showcases, and major live performances. It serves as the main event venue within the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds, home to The Big E, one of the largest multi-state fairs in the U.S. 

Founded in 1916, the Eastern States Exposition was originally created to promote agriculture and industry in the northeastern United States. Over the decades, the fairgrounds have grown into a massive entertainment complex, and the Xfinity Arena (formerly Coliseum) has evolved into a dynamic indoor arena that hosts concerts, rodeos, motor sports, ice skating, livestock competitions, and other exciting performances throughout the year. 

When the Big E Fair is in full swing each September, this venue becomes the heartbeat of the event—featuring headlining music acts, energetic shows, and exclusive limited-time events. From country stars and rock bands to family-friendly performances and one-of-a-kind spectacles, Xfinity Arena provides a once-in-a-year entertainment opportunity you won’t want to miss.
