The Emerald Cup

Oakland, CA: August 17-18

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Emerald Cup. This well-established cannabis event is planting new roots at Oakland’s Henry J. Kaiser Center For The Arts as well as offering new and expanded programming in an effort to enhance and grow the event. The event center is a 110-year-old art deco venue with a history of hosting great music and luminaries such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, the Grateful Dead, Hendrix, Queen, Sinatra, Dylan, Elvis and Bob Marley. The cultural significance of such a place lends itself to the cultural cannabis hub that the Emerald Cup is known for. This will be a public event combining the legendary Emerald Cup Competition and Awards. Attendees can expect a Craft Cannabis Marketplace, engaging seminars, indoor and outdoor activations, live music and entertainment, plus food, drinks and, of course, cannabis consumption.
