California State Fair
This July, we participated in the the longest cannabis pop-up event in history. For the first time since California passed it’s Adult Use back in 2016 & 3 years since the California State Fair began hosting the California Cannabis Award.
The Equity Trade Network and Embarc Events set out on a mission to organize 35 Equity Brands and show case 51 SKU’s for cannabis enthusiast and newcomers visiting from all over the state. This would be the third stop on Equity Trade’s Legacy Market Tour & we are so proud to have been able to see these brands present their products to consumers.
The California State Fair also offered it’s first ever Cannabis Consumption Lounge by the bleachers on the fair grounds with a stage where we curated panel discussions and performances.
