Florida CannFest lands at Renninger's Twin Markets in Mt. Dora on Saturday, November 7, 2026, running 10 AM to 5 PM. One day, one gate, and a market fairground turned over to cannabis culture — live music, cannabis-centric vendors, glass artists, art galleries and food trucks. Entry is 18+ and ID gets checked at the gate.
A Market Fairground, Handed Over for the Day
Renninger's sits off US Highway 441 as a sprawling antique-and-farmers market, and that footprint is the whole point. This isn't a festival crammed into a ballroom or squeezed onto a parking lot — it runs across grounds already built to hold rows of vendor stalls, with free parking and space to actually wander between them.
The mix the organizers publish leans culture over commerce: vendors, education, food trucks, art galleries, glass artists. No exhibitor badges, no breakout sessions on distribution margins. Vendors may only sell products compliant with Florida state law, so check the organizer's rules before you plan around what is actually for sale on the grounds.
Five Acts, One Schedule, No Overlap
The music runs to a published set list rather than a vague promise of live entertainment. DJ Dreadhead opens at 10 AM, Kamrun takes 11:15, The Council 2432 goes on at 12:30, Space Kamp plays at 2 PM, and Mendo Dope Band closes the day at 3:30.
That is a genuinely useful thing for a festival to publish in advance. Five acts on one stage across seven hours means you can show up for the band you came for and still catch the rest, instead of running the usual multi-stage math.
Getting In
Renninger's Twin Markets, 20651 US Highway 441, Mt. Dora, Florida. Gates at 10 AM, grounds close at 5 PM. Parking is free, and licensed leashed pets are allowed on site.
The age floor is 18+, not 21+ — worth registering if you are used to California's cannabis-event standard, because the crowd skews differently when the door is set two years lower. Bring ID regardless; the organizers say gates check it.
Trulieve, Rise Dispensary and Canna MD are on the 2026 sponsor board, which tells you where the Florida market's weight is sitting this year.
The High Rise Take
A one-day cannabis festival on open market fairgrounds is a format California has largely traded away for ticketed warehouse parties and invite-only B2B floors. Florida still runs it the old way, and so does Arizona's Errl Cup, which fills a Mesa fairground on the same logic.
The old way has things going for it: an all-day stage you can drift in and out of, a glass gallery you can browse without an appointment, food trucks instead of a catering package, and a crowd that turned up to spend the day rather than work the room.
Florida's cannabis market gets a fraction of the coverage California's does. Events built like this one are the reason that gap is worth closing. More of them are on the High Rise events calendar.
