Below, find a list of cannabis events and festivals happening in late 2024 and throughout 2025. Depending on where you live, some are likely to be more or less appealing to you. While there’s crossover between them, each has something unique to offer as well. Let’s take a look.

• Where: London
• When: September 7th–8th, 2024
