Grass Lands Expands to Two Weekends in Golden Gate Park This August

Grass Lands Returns to Golden Gate Park

In an exciting development for 2025, Grass Lands, the innovative cannabis event, is set to return to San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate Park for two weekends in August. Originally launched during the Outside Lands festival in 2018, Grass Lands has made waves in the industry by merging music, culture, and cannabis in a manner previously unseen in mainstream festivals.

A Celebration of Cannabis Culture

Taking place from August 1 to 3, this year’s Grass Lands event, in partnership with embarc, will host a wide array of activities designed to celebrate cannabis and its connection to music. Attendees can expect to explore top-tier cannabis products, engage in a vibrant community drum circle led by drumSTRONG, and view displays by various artists and brands, including the famed Haight Street Art Center and Jerome Baker Designs.

Just a week later, from August 8 to 10, Grass Lands will feature once again at Outside Lands for its seventh consecutive year. This year’s lineup promises to be spectacular, with not only musical performances but also unique culinary experiences and participation from leading cannabis brands, including discussions on equity in the cannabis industry. This is a nod to the ongoing evolution of cannabis culture, where music fans, artists, and the cannabis community can connect and celebrate their shared passion in a fun and interactive environment.

The Legacy of Another Planet Entertainment

Grass Lands is not just another festival; it's the culmination of Another Planet Entertainment (APE)'s groundbreaking work in integrating cannabis into major public events. The Chief Operating Officer, Steve Welkom, remarked on the historical significance of this integration, stating, "The counterculture movement in San Francisco paved the way for moments like this to be possible."

This groundbreaking venture serves as a testament to the cultural evolution surrounding cannabis and is an acknowledgment of the hard work that advocates have put into legalizing and normalizing cannabis use in society.

Details of the August 1-3 Events

On the first weekend, the interactive experience will feature embarc, recognized as one of the top cannabis retailers and concessionaires in the nation. Since legalization, embarc has played a significant role in the responsible integration of cannabis sales within large-scale events. Lauren Carpenter, co-founder of embarc, expressed pride in celebrating cannabis in Golden Gate Park, emphasizing that it is a return to the roots of cannabis culture where it first blossomed.

Humboldt Family Farms, amongst other local cultivators, will also feature prominently at the event, showcasing the finest sungrown cannabis while emphasizing the community's commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. Scott Vasterling, founder of Humboldt Family Farms, shared, “Humboldt Family Farms is more than cannabis; it's a celebration of community, environmental stewardship, and the meticulous craft of sungrown cultivation.”

A Community Gathering

Additional confirmed participants for this year’s event include popular brands such as Papa's Herb, Humboldt Seed Company, and Space Gems, to name just a few. Each vendor will be showcasing their unique products and innovations in the cannabis space, promoting an atmosphere of education, community, and shared passion.

The commitment to building a responsible cannabis culture alongside the appreciation for music and community has solidified Grass Lands' place in festival history. It is a call to action for cannabis enthusiasts, music fans, and curious individuals alike to partake in this incredible experience.
