About the Festival
Legacy Cup returns for its seventh edition on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Surly Brewing Festival Field in Minneapolis. It blends music, art and cannabis in one outdoor field, and it holds a distinction no other event in the state can claim: it was Minnesota's first licensed cannabis event.
That licensing is the whole reason the day works the way it does. A legal framework is what lets a cup, a sampling tent and a full music bill share a single field instead of splitting into separate private events.
Who's Playing
The music bill is the headline draw. Big Boi, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Nappy Roots and Sa-Roc are all confirmed, with more acts listed on the bill.
That is a deliberately deep-catalog lineup rather than a chart-chasing one. Outkast and Bone Thugs both sit near the center of how cannabis and hip-hop grew up together, and Nappy Roots and Sa-Roc give the day range beyond the nostalgia slot.
The Competition
Two things run alongside the music. The Cup Awards judge brands and products across the field, and the Ganja Games turn skills into a spectator event — joint rolling, plus bong and dab hit competitions.
The games are the part worth arriving early for. They are the rare cannabis-event programming built to be watched rather than browsed, and they give the crowd something to gather around between sets.
Where and When
Surly Brewing Festival Field sits on the brewery's Minneapolis campus — an outdoor field built for festival crowds rather than a converted parking lot. The event takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
This is a 21-and-over event, so bring ID and plan the day accordingly. Late September in Minneapolis can turn cold once the sun drops, so a layer is worth carrying for the headline sets.
Tickets
Tickets run through Etix in General Admission and VIP tiers. VIP adds access to the Sampling Tent, and the organizers have flagged VIP passes as almost sold out — if the sampling tent is the reason you are going, that tier is the one that disappears first.
Why It's Worth It
A licensed cannabis festival with a real music budget is still rare, and Legacy Cup has now done it seven times. For anyone tracking how legal markets outside the West Coast are maturing, this is the Midwest event that shows what the format looks like when the permits are actually in place.
