EVENT LOCATION

AlpacaFest West 2008 is at the Industry Hills Expo Center. This magnificent facility is located on 165 acres of lush landscaping, with beautiful valley views and the San Gabriel Mountains forming a stunning backdrop. The halter show will take place in the Grand Arena. With massive stone columns, the Grand Arena offers an elegant, fully covered area for the alpacas, show ring, and vendors with seating for 5,000 people. Open sides on the Grand Arena enable us to take full advantage of our superb Southern California fall weather while remaining fully protected from the elements should it rain. It is the perfect showcase for our beautiful alpacas and a serene setting to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow alpaca enthusiasts.
