From our very first Cannabis trade show six years ago, Hall of Flowers has been dedicated to supporting the industry while celebrating the culture. Now we’re bridging those worlds in Santa Rosa. Which means for the first time ever, we’re inviting the public to experience the ultimate Cannabis marketplace, with exclusive products, drops and collabs from over 300 of California’s hottest brands. Plus leading names in lifestyle, apparel and accessories that all rep weed culture.
Let the haters say Cannabis makes you lazy, we know getting lit actually makes you and your friends want to experience something new, interesting, surprising, engaging, and exciting—or better yet all of those rolled together. So we’ve partnered with Exploding Kittens and Joking Hazard to create interactive art installations specially designed to appeal to those in an elevated state of mind.
Featuring: Preeti Mistry, Mason Hereford, Solomon Johnson, BJ Smith, Wendy Zeng.
With their beautiful farm and headquarters located just a short drive from the fairgrounds, Sonoma Hills Farm will be our partners in creating an immersive food experience celebrating the intersection of chefs, Cannabis and cuisine. Experience chef-driven demos and education from multiple James Beard Award nominees, Top Chef contestants, and Michelin Star winners.
The highest impact conversations in Cannabis happen at Hall of Flowers, as part of our ICONOCLASTS Speaker Series.

We’ve partnered with the non-profit Freedom Grow to curate a gallery featuring artwork from non-violent people currently incarcerated for Cannabis, plus additional artists from the community.

While we’ll always consider Cannabis to be the ultimate 'headliner' at Hall of Flowers, live music and DJs will be integrated into the event on multiple stages. Because what’s a weed festival without a killer soundtrack? Check back frequently as we will soon begin to announce confirmed music acts,
The Northern California Experience will celebrate the legacy growers that made California Cannabis famous, with Woody Harrelson’s the WOODS dispensary and lounge serving as the centerpiece.
“I look at Cannabis the same way I look at food or anything else I'm going to put into my body," Woody Harrelson explains. "I want the healthiest, highest quality, most Earth-friendly option available, which means sourcing sungrown, soil-nourished outdoor Cannabis from small-scale family farms. That's what I personally enjoy, and it's what we're proud to feature at the WOODS. So we're thrilled to be partnering with Hall of Flowers to highlight legacy growers and brands as the official lounge and retail partner of the Northern California Experience."
Sure, you’ve been high before, but have you ever been high AF on the top of a ferris wheel overlooking the ultimate weed fest? Call us old school, but we think if you’re going to get a big crowd massively lit at the fairgrounds, you’ve got to have a few old-school carnival rides and attractions to make the vibe.
Ever marvel at a beautiful piece of functional glass art and wonder how exactly that pipe, bong, or dab rig came to life?
