Santa Barbara International Orchid Show


IT’S BACK and the excitement is building. Tours are booking, vendors are signing up from all around the world, and on-line ticket sales are humming. We, at Cal-Orchid can’t wait. James has a vision for an awesome display. The San Francisco group is bringing in their unreal orchid case to display superior plants along with foggers etc. This is a show it’s own right and the show is honored to play host to them. Come and linger as you walk around this phenomenal exhibit.

History:

SBIOS is THE LONGEST RUNNING SHOW IN AMERICA! Not even the wars interrupted us! And then came the worst pandemic in US history. We never got to open the 2020 show, but everything was totally installed, judges were holding their clipboards, and then the Gov. of California said no gatherings of over 250 were allowed. BOOM. We attract between 8-10,000 and rent our facility from the State, so had to cancel. Heart-breaking.

2023 will be our Grand Re-Opening! The show needs to double down on raising seed money, so welcomes any and all donations! For more updates etc. go to SBORCHIDSHOW.COM to get on the email list or to donate! Remember the show had to pay all the bills to put on the show in 2020 without getting refunded by one vendor! Consider making a donation ANYTIME. Be an angel!!

HEARTFELT THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN GENEROUS THUS FAR. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO KNOW HOW LOVED THE SHOW IS and goes a long way towards securing the future. SPREAD THE WORD!
