Extravaganja
Saturday, April 19, 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm
Franklin County Fairgrounds
The primary objective of our event is to contribute to the end of the stigmatization of cannabis for moral, environmental, and economic reasons. By fostering education and awareness, we seek to challenge misconceptions, promote informed discussions, and encourage a more nuanced understanding of cannabis and its diverse applications. Our goal is to reach the broader community in our efforts towards destigmatization and education.
At the heart of our event, attendees will be immersed in a captivating array of entertainment, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all. The main stage will be pulsating with energy as it hosts headline acts and popular local/UMass bands, showcasing a dynamic spectrum of music genres that will create a lively and festive atmosphere.
Meanwhile, our Craft Market will serve as a vibrant hub, offering a diverse range of cannabis-related crafts, arts, and handmade products. This marketplace not only provides a platform for local artisans and entrepreneurs but also fosters a sense of community. Attendees can explore interactive craft workshops, further enriching their engagement with the event. For hungry guests, we will have various food trucks available as well as permanent vendors at the fairgrounds opening for the event.
Our commitment to education takes center stage with the establishment of an Education Hub. This dedicated space will feature booths, displays, and host informative talks, panels, and presentations. By collaborating with local organizations and experts, we aim to cover a wide range of topics, ensuring that our attendees leave not only entertained but also informed and inspired.
