This weekend in the Twin Cities, check out a cannabis festival and the Hard Cider & Doughnut Fest in Minneapolis, a food truck festival in Shakopee, Rails and Ales in St. Paul and more.
🪴 1. Cannabis and chill
The weekend could look hazy with Legacy Cup IV in town.
What's happening: The Midwest's largest cannabis festival will offer education, local food trucks, art installations and live music. There will be competitions for best joint rolling, bong rip, dab hit and more.
- Homegrown flower and hash can be consumed in the "sesh lounge" areas.
- New this year are the homegrown cannabis and solventless hash competitions featuring growers from around the state.
State of play: No flower or hash will be available for purchase because sales are not yet permitted in Minnesota, but attendees are welcome to bring their own products.
- While consumption and possession of certain amounts of marijuana for personal use became legal in Minnesota on Aug. 1, commercial sales are not yet allowed outside some Native American reservation lands.
What they're saying: "This will absolutely be the biggest and best Legacy Cup yet," says Josh Wilken-Simon, Legacy Cup founder. "In addition to an expanded footprint, new vendors and additional entertainment, we'll be able to come together as a community to celebrate Minnesota becoming the 23rd state to legalize cannabis."
