HOSTING WORLD-CLASS AGRICULTURE & LIVESTOCK EVENTS

DID YOU KNOW...

In 2021, GILCA hosted 9 events with a $10.1 million dollar impact on the Grand Island economy and growing in subsequent years.

The animal industry in Nebraska has a $13.2 billion economic footprint.

GILCA works to promote year-round use of the world-class livestock show facilities in the heart of the Midwest at Fonner Park. Situated in the thriving city of Grand Island, Nebraska, we offer all the amenities of large metropolitan areas, with the comfort and ease of small community. We are proud to be the home of the AKSARBEN Stock Show.

According to a recent study by UNL, the social relationships, character, exposure to competition, exposure to other cultures, knowledge and care of animals were positive outcomes of youth participation in livestock shows.
