September 2023 Update:
Due to the loss of our venue of Pacific Valley School as the site of the Big Sur Jade Festival and the closure of Highway 1 just 6 miles north of the school @ Limekiln State Park for Paul’s Slide, we regret to say the 2023 Big Sur Jade Festival is canceled.
We invite reasonable ideas of alternate sites for next year’s festival. Suggestions or questions can be sent to support@bigsurjadefestival.com
Thank you all for your patience and support of the Big Sur Jade Festival, it will return!
