Many people ask about the name and history of this long time event. The story begins in the early 1980's at Monterey Peninsula College when a free university used to hold a small psychic fair. When the university closed its doors, 7 tarot enthusiasts came together to fill the void and produced the first ROTA festival on the Summer Solstice in 1984. This group chose the name "ROTA: to represent" the Road Of Transformation Arts and is also an anagram for the word"tarot".

After this first event, Ruby Grace and Julie King took over the organization for the fair. Two years later Ruby moved on to other opportunities and Julie King has been the producer since that time. Two of the original "Rotarians", James Wanless and Sharon Lee Dalkey are regular participants. Through the years thousands of people from all over the country have participated in the Rota Psychic Festival and many of the vendors, readers and healers have been regulars for these past 26 years. A true community event!

In previous years the fair was held on the last weekend of October and the first weekend of May. This year we have changed the fall date to the beginning of the month. One of the reasons for the change is to capture the essence of the fall equinox and the longer daylight hours. So this year the fair is the first weekend of October! It will be interesting to see how the energy feels at this different time after all of these years.  hum...
