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.
For 1 booth it is required to have a 25sq foot display.
For a double vendor booth a minimum of a 100sq foot display is required.
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.
VENDOR APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 15, 2026
Acceptance of applications and assignment of vendor booths is at the discretion of the SBIOS Board of Directors.
