– Vegas Cannabis Magazine

The Emerald Cup is Northern California’s premier destination for medicinal marijuana, while advancing the concept of sustainable, outdoor farming. Its reputation is firmly solidified as the largest, most respected, organic, outdoor, medicinal cannabis competition in the world. As a group, The Emerald Cup prides itself in bringing together experts and educators in the cannabis field to our fellow farmers, patients, and patrons each year. It is a community celebration that has grown to become a global movement honoring the year’s finest, organic, sun-grown, medicinal cannabis harvest.

Rolling Stone called it “the Academy Awards of the cannabis industry,” other accolades include; “epic marijuana festival in Wine Country” – SF Gate, Smell The Truth, “best weed fest in the West-or any other direction” – North Bay Bohemian, “refreshing…Home To Top-shelf…Everything“ – Medical Jane.

What started out as a small friendly sun grown cannabis competition in Mendocino has evolved into an international lifestyle event. We are determined folks intent on spreading our message across the world. We’re teaching and inspiring everyone involved to live and farm organically. The Emerald Cup is a true gathering of our cannabis tribe. It’s where small craft farmers and industry leaders come together to present the highest quality cannabis products. Whatever you’re looking for in regards to cannabis, you’ll find it beyond your wildest imagination. It’s the party of the year with world class speakers, organic food vendors, California’s best cannabis, and amazing music artists.
