An official statement from the staff at the Big E:
"The Big E is so much more than just a fair, it is tradition,
it is celebration, it is the showcase of everything we are so proud of in New
England. This is why our hearts are heavy as we bring you this news. For the
safety of our fairgoers, staff, vendors, entertainers, exhibitors, sponsors,
volunteers and the broader community, the 2020 Big E has been cancelled. Thank you all for your support and we’ll see you September 17-October 3, 2021,
when we can all celebrate together again. "
