The festival kicks off with a screening of “Bride and Prejudice” (2005). It's a Bollywood take on Austen — imagine “Pride and Prejudice” starring Indian superstar Aishwarya Rai, with lots of choreographed dancing, singing and elephants. Read more

Visitors can expect to see hundreds of orchids — tropical, non-tropical and even some that grow on trees in nature but have been trained to grow in pots. Members and vendors will sell potted orchids, supplies, even orchid-themed jewelry. There will also be an exhibit that outlines the history of the organization, plant raffles, even watercolors by society co-founder Greta Evans.
