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 20 years. A true community event! Most years the fair is held on the last weekend of October and the first weekend of May. This is to capture the special energies of Halloween and May Day! Always check to be sure that the dates correspond to these weekends. Sometimes we do have to move the fair to another weekend.
