Hooplandia returns to Greater Springfield, Mass., June 19-21. Teams and cheer squads new to town for the 3x3 basketball tournament and festival have a great resource in Explore Western Mass, which just launched its all-new Western Mass Pass with special offers for local businesses.
Explore Western Mass is brought to you by the Greater Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau (GSCVB), a not-for-profit organization that collaboratively leads promotion and development for Western Mass. by showcasing the region’s attractions as the compelling visitor destinations they are. The goal of the GSCVB is not dissimilar to that of Hooplandia’s event producer, Eastern States Exposition; it is to ensure that every visitor’s first impression is a great one.
We proudly partner with the
Greater Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau to help you experience all that the region has to offer. From local eats to family fun, their support helps make your Hooplandia visit unforgettable. Our

“This is about making Western Mass. more accessible,” said Michele Goldberg, Vice President of Marketing with the GSCVB. “We want families, visitors and our local communities to experience more—from cultural institutions to outdoor adventures—without feeling like cost is a barrier.”
Explore Western Mass is an authority on where to learn, lodge and eat at prices that cannot be beaten. To be sure you are making the most of Hooplandia weekend, there is no better way than to scope out their site for information about outdoor activities, arts and culture and more entertainment.
It’s important to fuel up for the tournament, too! There are delicious vendors on site during the festival, but what about after hours? Explore Western Mass places an expansive list of restaurants at your fingertips. For quick bites on the go, we also recommend Hot Table, our proud registration partner, which is a steadfast fan favorite for players before their big games.
