Big E Food-To-Go Drive-Thru to Continue

The 2020 Big E is canceled, but you can still get the food that you crave when you go to the fair.

The Big E Food-To-Go Drive Thru is coming back later this month and in October. It will happen between Sept. 22 and 27; Sept. 29 to Oct. 4; Oct. 6 through 11; and Oct. 13 through 18.

There will be tickets and timed entry reservations. Each week, Tuesday through Sunday, the Drive Thru will have three different vendors.

There is a $5 per vehicle entry fee and reservations for a specific time slot must be made online in advance.

You can reserve many time slots as you wish per week at $5 per vehicle reservation.

Tickets for the first week, Sept. 22-27, go on sale Thursday, Sept. 17 at 10 a.m.  Food purchases are not included in the vehicle entry fee.

During the week of Sept. 22-27, a special offer will be made available to purchase discounted tickets to the 2021 Big E. Each week will bring a different special offer and will be announced on social media.

“We were overwhelmed with the support we received during our first food drive thru. It’s clear The Big E will be missed, and this is our way of creating a safe, socially distant opportunity to present the genuine foods people have come to know and love, and continue to create memories for our guests,” ESE President and CEO, Gene Cassidy, said in a statement. “This is the real thing!”

A maximum of 50 cars per hour within two-hour time slots will be registered each day. Following are the time slots:
