6 Great Summertime Things To Do In DC And Surrounding Areas That Involve Weed
DC is the best city to live in if you’re a marijuana enthusiast. There are many great events throughout the year that are centered around weed dc, but summertime is especially great because there’s just so much going on! Here are six of our favorite pot-related activities that happen this time of year:
The Capitannabis Farmers Market
The Capitannabis Farmers Market is held every Saturday from 10:00-2:00 at Comet Ping Pong on Chevy Chase Circle in DC. The market features over 50 vendors selling cannabis-related goods and services, including a wide range of marijuana edibles like cookies, cakes and brownies.
There are also plenty of non-edible items for sale, like clothing and accessories with cannabis-themed logos or designs on them. If you’re looking for some new gear to wear while you blaze up, this is definitely the place to go!
The High Times Cannabis Cup
The High Times Cannabis Cup is the world’s premiere cannabis competition. It’s held in the United States every year, and it has a reputation for being a fun-loving, educational event that appeals to people who love weed.
There are two ways you can participate: attend as an attendee, or enter your own product into the competition. If you choose to enter your strain, there are three categories from which to choose: Indica (sedative), Sativa/Hybrid (euphoric), or Concentrate (intense). You’ll also have to pay a fee of $250 just so they know what type of product you’ll be entering into their competitions.
This event really is great for meeting other people who share your passion for marijuana as well as learning new things about growing techniques or how different strains affect people differently depending on their personal preference!
Rockn’ to Lockn’
This 1-day music festival, which benefits the Lockn’ Foundation, is held in Nelson County, Virginia at Infinity Downs Farm. The event takes place the same weekend as Lockn’, but it’s a much smaller gathering with a lineup that leans more towards bluegrass than jam bands.
DC Marijuana Freedom Festival
The DC Marijuana Freedom Festival will be held on Saturday, June 2nd and Sunday, June 3rd at RFK Stadium. The festival is free to attend and open to all ages.
The festival is a celebration of marijuana culture through live music, vendors, food trucks and more! There will also be a chance to try out some new products from local brands while you’re there.
What To Wear: Dress comfortably but dress up enough that you feel like you can enjoy yourself without feeling too self-conscious. If it’s hot outside then shorts are fine but if it’s cold then jeans might be better than shorts because they’ll keep your legs warmer than shorts would do when sitting down for long periods of time (like at concerts). Bring hats/hats if needed because some areas may not have much shade available so bringing extra protection from the sun could save your trip from being ruined by burning too much while wearing nothing but tank tops or other lightweight clothing items instead of having sunburned shoulders or worse yet…your face!
4/20 on the National Mall!
4/20 on the National Mall is a free event that takes place every year on April 20th, located on the National Mall. It’s hosted by DCMJ (the same folks who brought you 420 Rally), and features speakers, vendors and live music.
It’s also not just for people who smoke – there’s no smoking allowed at this event!
The Hemp History Week Parade!
When: The first week in May
Where: On the National Mall in Washington, DC
Why: In order to celebrate Hemp History Week (Hemp History Week is a national event held every year), there is a parade that takes place on the National Mall. It’s fun, educational and lasts for a full day!
DC is full of great pot related events and activites
There are many events and activities in DC that are perfect for marijuana lovers. Here are just a few of them:
- The Capital Hempfest is held every year, and it’s the largest gathering of hemp enthusiasts in the country. There will be vendors selling all kinds of products made from cannabis (such as clothes, food, and art), live music performances by local artists, food trucks serving up their best creations with hemp-infused ingredients on the side—and if you want to get really wild with your weed use—you can even check out an edibles demonstration at this festival!
- If you’re looking for something more intimate than an outdoor festival but still want to meet other people who share your love of pot with you then consider attending one of these private parties where everyone smokes together while enjoying some good music or watching funny videos online together.
