Become apart of this welcoming community this Spring!🔥

Since 2015 organizers have worked tirelessly collaborating with brands, dispensaries, state representatives, and patients to bring Pennsylvania residents a superior event promoting plant medicine and growing personal relationships with consumers and businesses.

Medical Marijuana Patients, CBD advocates, and Industrial Hemp enthusiasts can rest assured that any questions surrounding education, product information, medical marijuana patient cards, accessories, gear, and services (available in this state) can be answered at this community-based & patient-focused event.  

Whether you’re a Medical Marijuana patient or new to the Pennsylvania Cannabis Community, here are the answers to all your questions about Penncannafest 2022!

When is the Pennsylvania Cannabis Festival?

The Pennsylvania Cannabis Festival 2022 will be held on Saturday, April 23rd, and Sunday, April 24th, 2022, from 10 am to 5 pm (on both days) is all-inclusive and is FREE to the public.

Where is the PA Cannabis Festival Located?

PA Canna Fest 2022 will be hosted at: 

Renningers Farmers Market

740 Noble St.

Kutztown, PA 19530

Where should I park at the Cannabis Festival?

Event planners put a lot of thought into assuring participants can find their way, considering the high volume of people that attend each year. Signs and parking attendants are noticeably visible for guidance and directions. In addition, adequate parking is available on and near the premises.

Parking and Admission is FREE!

What is the best time to attend the festival?⌚ 

There is no question that there will be crowds of people no matter what time you decide to attend. Over the past few years, it seems the best rule of thumb is, “the earlier, the better.” Arriving upon opening time gives you a head start avoiding long lines and room for browsing.

 

 

Historically, Sunday afternoon (a few hours before closing) is a slower time as the crowds thin out. However, there is a risk of some vendors running out of products from such a vast sales flow. (That’s a good thing) 😊 

Regardless of when you choose to show up, you can be sure to see warm smiles and friendly greetings from both vendors and patrons alike. The mellow atmosphere and pleasant environment make it a worthy experience.  

Can I bring my dog to this event? 🐶

One of the most lovable facts about this gathering is that the WHOLE FAMILY is invited! All dogs that are friendly and safely leashed are welcome! You can even find CBD dog treats and accessories, created from hemp textiles, for your furry friends.   

 

  Should I use a Festival Event Map? 

Confirming locations in advance for parking, restrooms, food, seating, and vendors of particular interest helps create a smoother personal experience. In addition, viewing an event map before the event saves time, assists in navigating the venue, and lists all businesses, musicians, discussion panels, etc., so you can plan your day.  

At the time of the writing of this article, the website indicated that a “Festival Event Map” would be available soon. Please regularly check for current information and updates.  

What type of restrooms are available to the public? 

Similar to most festivals, “Port-O-Potty’s” are adequately available throughout the outdoor market for the convenience of participants.  

 

"the above gif is not of penncannafest, just something funny lol😂🤣"

I have a disability and have some mobility limitations.  What environmental conditions can I expect?

• This venue is outdoors which provides a large enough space inviting enough for as many community members to attend as possible.  

• Open air spaces allow for patients, with valid medical marijuana cards, to medicate in a way that is respectful of other attendees. 

 

• Since this is an outdoor event space, the ground cover is predominantly grass and some gravel.  The area is level with some seating. 

•  Due to high crowds, if sitting down is beneficial, it might be a good idea to bring a portable folding chair.  

• Always check the weather conditions.  Rainy weather will get your shoes, wheels, etc. muddy (but you’ll still have a blast!). 🚀

   

What types of Cannabis can I purchase at PA Canna Fest?

Medical Marijuana is not available for purchase at the Pennsylvania Cannabis Festival. In Pennsylvania, Medical Marijuana can only be obtained by patients with a valid M.M.J. patient identification card and from a licensed dispensary. 

 

HOWEVER, Hemp & CBD products ARE AVAILABLE for purchase from various vendors such as Platinum Main Stage Sponsor, Best Damn Buds. Additionally, CBD flower, edibles, tinctures, concentrates, and topicals are available to buy. Select brands also offer larger quantities at wholesale prices.  

Curious to learn more about Medical Marijuana Brands available in Pennsylvania Dispensaries? Companies (like Diamond Sponsors Curaleaf & Grassroots Cannabis) can explain all they offer to ensure you feel comfortable participating in your cannabis journey. 

Don’t be shy! Businesses and professionals are there to help. They are ready to provide you with education, information, and guidance to assist you in answering all your questions so you can choose the medicine that work best for your lifestyle.

I think I qualify for a Medical Marijuana Card. Can someone at the festival help me?

Several licensed providers, including the Green Bridge Society, will be available to guide patients through the process of obtaining their medical marijuana cards. Once patients have gone through the entire medical screening process (and all payments transactions are complete), cards will be mailed from the health department within 10 to 15 business days.  

*Please Note: Medical Marijuana Cards cannot be distributed to the patient on the day of the event as they must be authorized and mailed from the state.

What can I expect to do and see?

There’s something for everyone, and that's just one of many reasons this community is blooming together.
