Is this going to be inside or outside of the zoo? I remember reading some information about the event a few weeks ago and it stated show will be outside of the zoo, but don't see that info in the site you linked to or in the flyer. Also do you know which vendors are attending and do you have any information about the Westminster show this weekend? Summer Exotic Plant & Orchid Festival

Fascination of Orchids will be outside except for a small display area. (Actually, the zoo has very few indoor spaces) We are still getting vendor responses... a bit closer to showtime we will post the vendor list on the show website.

As for the sale (there really isn't a show component) at the Westminster Mall... it will be August 13,14/15. So not this coming weekend, but rather the following weekend. For that one, I have no idea who the vendors will be. (I'm a member of Newport Harbor OS that is putting it on, but I'm not involved in the governance) Andy has a flier for that one on his website, so I assume he will be one of them. but beyond that, no idea.

Thanks. Don't know why I wrote this weekend for the Westminster show since I knew it is being held 8/13-8/15. Brain fog. :-)

Reminder! Fascination of Orchids International Show and Sale will happen this coming weekend, Saturday 9/25 and Sunday 9/26, at the Santa Ana Zoo, hours 10 AM - 4 PM.

Due to COVID-19 concerns and the confined area that we were going to use for displays, we decided to not have displays this year. So all activities (sales and classes) will be outdoors. Check the website for a list of vendors, and schedule of classes.

Thanks! A new venue, new challenges, but I think that people are really eager to get back to real-live orchid shopping.
