Exhibit Building

The Exhibit Building at the Earl Warren Showgrounds was originally constructed as the permanent home for the Santa Barbara National Flower Show. The unique structure was designed to resemble a giant daisy with 43’ foot dome ceiling at the flowers center and eight pedals extending in all directions. The Exhibit Building covers 22,000 square feet and has built-in box offices, a deli facility and full kitchen facility.
