All Holyoke Public School students ages 6-18 are receiving a free admission ticket to attend the Eastern States Exhibition—also known as the Big E—that can be used on Tuesday, September 17 after 2 p.m. Families should check with their school office if their child did not receive a ticket.

Accompanying family members and friends can purchase admission tickets at the gate or online.

The Big E has been in operation for more than 100 years, now attracting more than 1.4 million visitors each year. The multi-state fair housed in West Springfield, MA represents the six New England states and includes a midway with rides, multicultural food, exhibit halls, entertainment, and more. The exhibition runs for 17 days, closing this year on September 29.
