International Orchid Show makes triumphant return

The Santa Barbara International Orchid Show, one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious orchid shows in the U.S., is back. The show is returning three years after an abrupt cancellation due to state mandates at the onset of COVID-19 limiting crowds to no larger than 250 at any events within California.

Event organizers say they are thrilled to finally be back and share these stunning international and local orchids once again.

“We’ve had to rebuild this beautiful event from the ground up over the last three years and are so grateful to finally bring the wonder of orchids back to the public,” says Lauris Rose, President of the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show. “However, as the show evolves, it faces the new realities and challenges of a world changed by the pandemic. It urgently depends upon the financial support of fellow orchid lovers to raise seed money for upcoming shows.”
