The National Cannabis Festival, now on its 7th year, has announced an exciting line-up for 2023 with 2 Chainz, Juicy J, and Free Nationals as headliners. The festival, which is set to bring together over 25,000 people from all walks of life to the Festival grounds at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, April 22nd, is expected to be an epic celebration of cannabis advocacy and culture.
“We’re thrilled to host another National Cannabis Festival celebration at this critical time for cannabis advocacy,” said Caroline Phillips, NCF Founder, and Executive Producer. “Our attendees will have an incredible time enjoying the main stage acts, exhibitors, and education pavilions while supporting the nonprofits fighting for DC Statehood and cannabis rights across the country.”
Exciting Performances and Local Talent
The blazing-hot line-up of national performers is supported by a diverse array of the region’s most beloved acts, including go-go heavyweights Backyard Band, retro funk and soul band Everyday Everybody, DC neo-cumbia band Cumbia Heights, production duo Foots X Coles, reggae band Nkula, and hometown hero DJ Farrah Flosscett.
This year’s festival features exciting new additions. Attendees can participate in discussions on the medicinal benefits of cannabis, learn about legislative updates from state and federal advocates, hear from farming, tech, and culture influencers, focus their minds with yoga sessions, and more through six education pavilions covering topics such as Wellness, Policy, Culture, Culinary, Grower’s World, and the Psychedelics education track.
The festival also includes the new LGBTQIA+ Lounge, which provides a space for advocates and community members to gather, network, and share experiences. The Seniors Lounge (for NCF’s “golden buds”) and the Veterans Pavilion hosted by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and Balanced Veterans are also returning to serve as retreats for special guests from the hustle and bustle of festivities.
