Wisconsin Alpaca & Fiber Fest

I want to thank everyone involved in scheduling the classes here at the Wisconsin Alpaca & Fiber Fest! We had 3 wonderful drop spinning classes this year. The students were all great! We all had so much fun! Thank you all!

It's a wrap! The 2026 Great Midwest Alpaca Festival and Wisconsin Alpaca and Fiber Fest is in the books. Thank you to everyone who traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to participate in the competition, meet your first alpaca, learn to spin, take a fiber seminar or sell your fiber-related products. We hope you learned how special these amazing alpacas are and the incredible fleece they produce. If you still have questions and want more information, grab a copy of the show book below. Another great resource is the Great Lakes Alpaca Association and I Love Alpacas (https://ilovealpacas.com/resources/)

Be sure to join us next year on the last weekend of April.

Had a wonderful time this morning with Tabitha Bland from Madison TV station WMTV 15. She did several interviews on the morning show. Everyone was well behaved—including the alpacas. Stars were born! We’ll post the video when it’s available.
