The Santa Barbara International Orchid Show is one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious orchid shows in the United States, showcasing the rich agricultural and orchid-growing history of Santa Barbara County. Visitors from around the world flock to this annual event to marvel at the grand displays of orchids created by local, national, and international artisans and enthusiasts. With exhibits featuring orchid art, photography, and floral arrangements, as well as a diverse workshop and demonstration schedule, the show offers a unique and immersive orchid experience.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show aims to share the joy of the orchid world and educate the public about these exquisite flowers. Through its annual show in March, the organization not only provides a platform for showcasing the beauty and diversity of orchids but also supports orchid conservation efforts and fosters partnerships with other non-profit organizations. With a commitment to creating new traditions for orchid lovers, the show relies on donations and sponsorships to continue its mission of bringing the enchanting world of orchids to everyone.
