International Orchid Show Makes Triumphant Return

Posted by Brian Sparks|February 24, 2023

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.”

The annual International Orchid Show will take place on March 10-12 at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara, CA, with the theme “Orchids – The Adventure Returns.” Organizers implore orchid lovers to consider a tax-deductible donation to support the staging of the 2023 show and more importantly, secure its future.
