Cannifest 2026

Cannifest 2026 runs September 12–13 at Arcata Ball Park in Arcata, CA, with gates at noon — Humboldt County's annual cannabis celebration. Cannifest in Arcata is rooted in real cannabis culture — the cultivation, the community, the tradition that defines Humboldt and shaped what California cannabis has become for the rest of the world. Humboldt County isn't just where cannabis grows — it's where cannabis culture was cultivated, literally and figuratively, over generations of dedicated growers who built their lives around this plant long before legalization made it fashionable. Cannifest honors that legacy with an event that feels authentic to the region: farmers and growers sharing their craft, vendors representing the best of Northern California cannabis, live music reflecting the area's rich counterculture heritage, and a community that shows up to celebrate something that's genuinely theirs. If you've never made the trip to Humboldt for a cannabis event, Cannifest is the one to start with. This is where the story of California cannabis actually began.
