The Redland International Orchid Festival® (October 16-18, 2026) will be held at the Fruit and Spice Park, a lovely 37 acre park in the heart of the Redland located at 24801 SW 187th Ave, Homestead, FL 33031.

General admission tickets are $20. Enter your email in the pop up to get an email with a discount code. The best discounts are always earliest, discounts get smaller as the show grows closer. Cash only at the door. Children under 12 are free. Parking is $5, cash only, but there is some free parking along the street.

You will receive your ticket by email. Look for an email from Universe/Redland International Orchid Festival®. If you do not receive an email soon after purchase, check your junk/spam folder. You must print or display your ticket on your phone at the gate. Yahoo and AOL accounts appear to be particularly susceptible to false positive spam messages. Please check your spam folders. Please search for “universe” in your email. If you use Gmail look in your promotions tab and search for “universe”.

Bringing cash is highly recommended as many growers are foreign and do not accept credit cards. You will also need $5 cash to park. If you did not buy your tickets in advance you will need cash at the door as well. ATMs are available, but they charge fees and may be limited in how much cash they dispense per transaction.

Volunteers will have e-tickets mailed to them in advance and redeem them at the front gate.

You can email info@redlandorchidfestival.com up to seven days before the event opens for a refund. Thereafter, we cannot issue refunds but will, upon request, give tickets to a future Redland International Orchid Festival® or to the Rare Plant Festival in October.

Easy! No standing in line. And you can pay by credit card. Ticket purchases are cash only at the door.

There is a ton of parking and it is just $5 for the entire day, benefiting a local troop of the Boy Scouts of America.

Any classes are free, however no class schedule is set at the moment.

The Redland International Orchid Festival® will be outside in the beautiful Fruit and Spice Park.

The Redland International Orchid Festival® is one of the oldest, largest and most prestigious orchid events in the country. Along with its sister orchid festival, the Tamiami International Orchid Festival, it is a destination event for orchid lovers from all over the world. Scores of growers and other vendors from around the world display and sell amazing orchids and orchid related products.

Anyone interested in seeing rare orchids, buying beautiful yet affordable orchids, or who is just interested in a nice family excursion or laid back date at the relaxing Fruit and Spice Park to admire orchids.

Check out the beautiful orchids, shop the widest selection of affordable and rare orchids available anywhere, and enjoy food and drink. Watch classes in advance of the festival on Zoom, and participate in complimentary raffles for over a hundred beautiful orchid plants and other prizes. E-ticket buyers are automatically entered in the main raffle and bonus raffles. Attendees who buy tickets at the door will have the opportunity to fill out a raffle ticket and participate in the big raffles at the end of the show. No purchase is necessary. For a free entry, please send a request with your contact information on a 3×5 inch card to Redland Professional Orchid Growers, Inc. 25000 S.W. 162 Ave, Homestead, FL 33031

Unfortunately, Miami still does not have good public transportation and is a vast, sprawling city. We recommend Lyft. Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden is a great destination for plant lovers. Of course, Miami Beach is the destination for many out of towners, but natives often get their nightlife and eats in Coral Gables, Wynwood, and South Miami. Miami has become a world class city and visitors have many options.

There are various shipping options located nearby.

USDA will be onsite on Saturday afternoon ONLY to issue CITES. CITES documents will be available from Motes Orchids. Email in advance to reserve your CITES.

The Committee accepts applications to the Orchid Festival year round through the Contact page.

The Orchid Festival partners with local and national businesses that recognize the value in having their brand associated with beautiful, exotic plants. Send your proposal to the Orchid Festival through the Contact page.

No. We love animals too, but the venue only allows service animals.

There will be multiple outstanding food options at the Festival (see food vendors list above)! Come for your yum!

Thanks! Volunteers get free admission the entire weekend and a free gift. Send an email via the Contact page.

 Absolutely! There is handicapped parking at the front entrance–handicapped attendees should not park at the back entrance as there is no handicapped access there, but the park itself is completely wheelchair friendly and ADA compliant. Come and enjoy. We do not have scooter or wheelchair rentals on site, sorry.

If you completed a ticket purchase, tickets were emailed to you from Universe with a subject line referencing the Redland International Orchid Festival®. Please check your junk mail and spam. If you cannot find the tickets, email info@redlandorchidfestival.com and we will try to help. But, you can also give your email address at the door as a last resort. (This is a more time consuming process so please bring your tickets if you have them. Thanks.)
