St. Paul, Minnesota: CannaFest 2026
April 16 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Minnesota is the newest major player on the scene, and CannaFest serves as the sophisticated lead-up to the 4/20 weekend. Hosted by Minnesota Monthly, this event is designed for those who want to see the “Best of Minnesota’s Cannabis Scene.”
The High Note: Perfect for “cannacurious” locals who want a high-end experience before the rowdier weekend celebrations begin.
What to expect: An upscale evening featuring the state’s top hemp-derived and adult-use brands. It’s more of a “meet the makers” event where you can sample premium products and learn about the local industry’s future.
