2026 Grand National Show
We are excited that you are interested in joining ALSA for the 2026 Grand National Show — and this year we’re going Back to the 80s! Get ready for big hair, bold colors, and totally tubular fun as we celebrate the spirit of the decade while bringing together llama and alpaca owners and their amazing animals for competition and camaraderie. The ALSA Grand National Show enhances the visibility and versatility of llamas and alpacas, while demonstrating ALSA’s continued importance to the llama and alpaca community — now with an electrifying retro twist!
Triple points are awarded for the Grand National, and all Grands and Reserves qualify toward overall Animal and Youth Awards, regardless of class size. Anyone who wishes to participate in the ALSA Grand National must be a current ALSA member. So grab your neon, turn up the 80s hits, and join us for a show that’s sure to be, like, totally awesome!
