Come join us for a fun-filled festival!

Dozens of Maryland breeders will be exhibiting their beautiful alpacas. Get up close and personal with the animals while learning about the benefits of this eco-friendly livestock opportunity. But beware… alpacas are addictive!

Both days include:

• Pen Sales of quality Huacaya and Suri alpacas
• Fiber Artists, Knitters and Spinners, don’t miss this opportunity to purchase raw fiber, roving, batting and yarn
• Holiday shopping featuring fine alpaca fashions & accessories, home décor, crafts, and toys.
• Our popular FREE seminars on raising alpacas and the many uses for their fleece.
• 4H demonstrations, events and activities for kids
• Food Vendors
• FREE Admission & Parking
• Event held rain or shine

Please leave family pets at home, as they are not permitted on the Fairgrounds.

MABA Alpacas and Fleece Festival is brought to you by all the volunteers, members and Board of Directors for the Maryland Alpaca Breeders Association.
