AN IDEAL LOCATION

The 175-acre Eastern States Exposition includes 14 buildings (and a 19th century village) and is New England’s foremost multi-purpose facility. Eastern States is strategically located in the heart of New England at the junction of Interstates 90 and 91 just 14 miles from Bradley International Airport. The Springfield area offers more than 3600 hotel/motel rooms for event attendees, and camping is available on the Eastern States grounds. Equine Affaire will occupy six of the buildings at Eastern States Exposition for commercial exhibits, a breed pavilion, stabling, and four full days of training clinics, seminars and demonstrations.
