27th Annual Festival Update

We regret to inform you that the 27th Annual Big Sur Jade Festival which was originally scheduled for Oct 9. 10 & 11 2020 is postponed until further notice due to Covid 19 concerns. We will make an announcement about possible dates for a festival in 2021 just as soon as we can. We are all saddened by these events, and look forward to a successful festival when it is safe for us to do so. Please be safe, stay healthy, and check back often for updates.

Think Jade and we'll see you in 2021!
