We invite you to apply to the 79th Santa Barbara International Orchid Show, taking place from March 12-14, 2027, in beautiful Santa Barbara, California! This year’s theme, “Discovery,” 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 vendor booth a minimum of a 25sq foot display is required.

  • For a double vendor booth a minimum of a 100sq foot display is required.

  • For a triple vendor booth a minimum of a 150sq foot display is required.

  • For a quad vendor booth a minimum of a 200sq foot display is required.

This approach ensures that your exhibit stands out and engages visitors, making a lasting impression.

If you are a vendor that does not sell plants choose the non plant vendor option when checking out. Note these spots are very limited.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of an iconic event that celebrates the beauty and diversity of orchids.

VENDOR APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 1, 2027

Acceptance of applications and assignment of vendor booths is at the discretion of the SBIOS Board of Directors.
