FREE ADMISSION to MOCANNAFEST 6 and Missouri NORML Fall 2023 Conference
MOCANNAFEST VI, the FREE premiere Missouri Cannabis Festival, has rapidly become a tradition attracting attendees from all across the state of Missouri and our neighboring states. It’s FREE to attend. The event has non-stop music, two stages, 50+ vendors, onstage comics, bingo, door prizes, giveaways, displays, demonstrations, consumption lounges, and lots of fun. The event will be held indoors and there will be outdoor spaces too. Attendance could be in the thousands. On-site hotel lodging and parking is available. Local area motels and rental units will offer accommodations as well.
Missouri NORML was invited to conduct our Fall Conference during the MOCANNAFEST 6 event. This type of event, along with the many other consumption-friendly festivals in Missouri may never have been possible without the successful legalization efforts of Missouri NORML and the local city NORML chapters across Missouri.
