Welcome to the 42nd annual edition of the largest event of its kind in New England! It’s a great family activity, like a special kind of country fair, centered around displays of over 700 beautiful cars and airplanes, with at least 20 food trucks offering a wide range of delicious things to eat, and many special activities.

If your only interest is to enjoy great things to eat, our food trucks will arrive the day prior to the regular show, from 11 AM on Saturday, Sept. 24. That day will be food trucks ONLY. The full event, including a second day of food trucks, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 25. Come either day, or both.

Here are some of the activities planned for this year. We’ll be adding more as they are confirmed.
