Date(s):	08/05/2026	Time:
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 When New York novelist Stine is lured to Hollywood to adapt his detective stories for the silver screen, he trades the gritty East Coast for a land of perennial sunshine and palm trees. But the real drama happens off-page. The Tony Award-winning City of Angels seamlessly weaves between two worlds: the vivid Technicolor reality of 1940s Hollywood and the gritty, black-and-white film noir of Stine’s imagination. As his fictional detective navigates a world of shadows, Stine faces his own dangerous temptations—sultry distractions, the hollow promise of fame, and the relentless pressure to compromise his art. Witty, glamorous, and atmospheric, this production features a sensational jazz score including “You Can Always Count on Me” and “I’m Nothing Without You.” Before the show, we will enjoy a delicious lunch at Jonathan’s. Begin with a house salad, choose between the Chicken Piccata, Lemon Baked Scrod or Roast Loin of Pork.

Across the fairgrounds, you’ll find all the indulgent fair classics you crave: giant turkey legs, loaded baked potatoes, deep-fried Oreos and fried dough, funnel cakes piled high with powdered sugar, fresh apple crisp and homemade pies, barbecue, sausages, and specialty sandwiches, local craft beers and regional wines. Beyond the incredible food, the excitement continues all across the fairgrounds. Enjoy thrilling horse shows at the Coliseum, marvel at high-energy performances at the Circus Spectacular, meet adorable animals in the petting zoo, catch live concerts, explore the charm of historic Storrowton Village, or step right up to classic carnival rides and games for all-day excitement. The Big E also features a festive daily parade, just before we leave, winding through the fairgrounds with high school marching bands, specialty floats, antique vehicles, performance groups, and even Mardi Gras-style beads to catch as it goes by.
