Other attractions include horse shows in The Big E Coliseum, or animals such as those in petting zoos located in the Big E Circus Spectacular, concerts in the Xfinity Arena, Storrowton Village, and the Midway, home to carnival rides and games. These buildings feature exhibits and vendors that best exemplify the heritage, food, and traditions of each state. The Avenue is said to contain life-size replicas of the six original New England statehouses, as well as the New England Grange House.
One of the most popular attractions at The Big E is the Avenue of States.
It is the largest agricultural event on the eastern seaboard and the seventh-largest fair in the nation. The Big E, also known as The Eastern States Exposition, is billed as 'New England's Great State fair'.
