*** New for the 2026 Illinois Beef Expo ***
• With the recent renovations to the Coliseum, we are excited to announce an updated layout for the 2026 Illinois Beef Expo. All junior cattle shows will now be held in the Coliseum.
• The Trade Show will be relocated to the covered practice arena, conveniently situated between the Coliseum and the Artisans Building. This temperature-controlled facility will feature turf flooring to enhance the exhibitor and attendee experience. In addition, booth dimensions will increase from 7’ x 10’ to 10’ x 10’ to provide vendors with expanded display space.
