California Cannabis Awards 2026

The California Cannabis Awards runs inside the California State Fair at Cal Expo in Sacramento for two full weeks — 50,000 sq ft of consumer activation space, product competitions across flower, concentrates, edibles, and cartridges, and gold medals going to the brands that actually deliver. It's the state's biggest cannabis showcase, and this year entries closed in May, so expect the full field. The 2026 edition runs July 17 through August 2 at 1600 Exposition Blvd, Sacramento, California. Tickets and scheduling details are available through the California State Fair website.
