When cannabis first started gaining legal traction in the United States, plant enthusiasts and advocates teamed up to celebrate how far our industry has come with the 2016 inaugural National Cannabis Festival (NCF). Fast forward to 2022, the event is back and better than ever with a packed lineup, games, education sessions, contests, and more. 

Just like it sounds, the National Cannabis Festival (NCF) celebrates all things marijuana and the progress we’ve made while recognizing the many nonprofit organizations that have helped end statewide marijuana prohibition. NCF stands behind three main themes, music, education, and advocacy, allowing each guest to head home feeling welcomed within the country’s evolving cannabis space.

The festival will be up and running on April 23, 2022, just one mile from the United States Capitol Building. More specifically, NCF will take place on the lawn at the RFK Festival Grounds along the Anacostia River in Lot 8 of the RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, per the festival’s website. 

NCF’s official hotel partner is a mission-driven hospitality company, Eaton DC. With a rooftop bar, vinyl records in bedrooms, stunning wall art, wellness sessions throughout the weekend, and three food and beverage outlets, we encourage you to stay at Eaton DC for the complete NCF experience. Grab 20% off room rates from April 17 to April 24 with this link. 

As we mentioned, Eaton DC’s hotel offers three food and beverage outlets for you to fill up before the event and grab light night eats after. During the festival, head to the NCF Munchies Zone, where a variety of vendors park up and serve all kinds of eats, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. There’s also an additional beverage area for alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. Check out the full list of NCF vendors here.
