We invite you to apply to the 78th Santa Barbara International Orchid Show, taking place from March 20 - 22, 2026, in beautiful Santa Barbara, California! This year’s theme, “Orchid Escape,” promises to create a captivating experience for all attendees, and we want you to be a part of it!
As we celebrate this year, our goal is to continue to enhance the exhibit hall with stunning displays that transport visitors to lush, exotic landscapes. With a robust marketing campaign set to promote these spectacular exhibits, your participation will not only elevate your brand but also provide a unique opportunity to showcase your orchids to a diverse audience of enthusiasts.
To make the most of your vendor booth space, each vendor must create a compelling exhibit for every 9×10 vendor booth space. This approach ensures that your exhibit stands out and engages visitors, making a lasting impression.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of an iconic event that celebrates the beauty and diversity of orchids. We encourage you to register early to secure your spot, save $100 if you register by December 15th and take advantage of the marketing efforts we have planned.
EARLY VENDOR APPLICATION DEADLINE: December 15, 2026 for $100 off.
VENDOR APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 7, 2026
Acceptance of applications and assignment of vendor booths is at the discretion of the SBIOS Board of Directors.
