On September 20 and 21, California trade show Hall of Flowers will expand into new territory with its brand-new Cannabis Market & Festival, which they’re teasing as a “feast for the senses.”
Friday will still be limited to industry attendees, but anyone has the ability to grab a pass into Saturday’s event for the unheard-of price of less than $100. Over 300 companies have signed on to help create this publicly ticketed part of the expo — a mix of live music, games, rides, comedy, education and exclusive drops.
Along with this, the event is promising:
• A communal sesh with Wiz Khalifa
• Talking Terps gift bags for the first 4k fans
• A “Northern California Experience” from Woody Harrelson’s the WOODS
• Interactive exhibits by Exploding Kittens and Joking Hazard
Art will also be a big part of this new evolution. Glassblowing legend Jerome Baker will be curating a glass expo and demo space. Journalist David Downs will exhibit his curated cannabis mylar bag retrospective entitled “Get To The Bag.” The festival gallery will also feature a collection of artwork by nonviolent cannabis prisoners, which will benefit Freedom Grow.
To up the food game at the C&L Market, Hall of Flowers partnered with Sonoma Hills Farm to make demos and education from many different highly awarded chefs, as well as a small number of farm-to-table meals available for bookings, served right at the expo.
Also on-site will be the first Hall of Flowers-hosted contest with Jimi Devine and High Rise productions holding a Trans Bay Challenge qualifying competition on-site. Anyone with these market tickets is welcome to check out the sesh and see if they can sniff out the winner.
These new public attendance tickets will also let people into the Hall of Flowers ICONOCLASTS talks with industry leaders like Anna Willey, Caleb Counts, Nina Parks and Ted Lidie. Or if that’s not your thing, ride a selection of classic carnival rides.
Tickets for the Cannabis Market & Festival are on sale now, but prices go up on September 10. Follow the link for tickets.
