I don’t know about you, but I’ve never met an alpaca that I didn’t like! If you are an alpaca fan, or maybe even own one yourself, you can soon celebrate these beautiful creatures at a fun and unique festival. On July 8, 2023, the New England Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (NEAOBA) is putting on its second annual Alpaca Summer Fest in Westford, Massachusetts. 

The festival will showcase alpacas from various farms and will additionally focus on alpaca fiber.

To find out more details about the second annual Alpaca Summer Fest, please visit the New England Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association’s official website or the New England Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association Facebook page. If you just can’t get enough of alpacas, I suggest that you pay a visit to Harvard Alpaca Ranch in Harvard and Luina Greine Farm in Groton. If you are looking to stay overnight in the Westford area, the Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Westford is a great choice.
