The Palomar Gem and Mineral Club honors San Diego County mining history with its annual Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Show at the prestigious California Center for the Arts Escondido, located at 340 N. Escondido Blvd., Escondido, CA 92025.
We are growing! In 2023 the Gem Show will move from the museum complex to the Convention Center at the California Center for the Arts. The convention center is located on the California Center for the Arts campus 600 feet from the Museum complex at the corner of Valley Blvd and Escondido Blvd. Attendees will still park in the large public parking lot and will be directed across the campus to the convention center.
The Convention Center is 9000 Square feet of space in a climate controlled, secure building. It is carpeted throughout and has large bathroom spaces for both men and women. There is a very large exterior hallway and a very large exterior courtyard.
Vendor opportunities!

We have a new type of space for vendors who have a booth or set up they use and want floor space only This is: Your space, Your tables, Your set up style. These spaces are 8 feet wide and vary in length. They are all wall spaces.
