Flower Hall May 2022: This is what awaits you

Hall of Flowers Palm Springs is coming back. It’s a major trade show where hundreds of California brands come together with the state’s buyers to find the perfect harmony in store.

If you’re considering attending, here’s what you should expect from the event itself, as well as the parties and networking opportunities in the evenings.

What is the Flower Hall?

Hall of Flowers is a licensed, industry-specific, heavily curated B2B show designed to facilitate commerce between a vast network of premium licensed cannabis brands and retailers. It’s pretty much a big fair for these brands to get their best weed into the faces, noses, and lungs of the state’s largest (and smallest) pharmacy shoppers.

Buds, dabs, edibles, pre-rolls, tinctures – the full range will be showcased. I went to my first one last November and it was definitely unlike any type of weed event, festival or fair I’ve attended before. It’s a great networking opportunity for people in the industry as everyone you only know via email gets together under one roof in the same city for a few days.

What to expect at the Hall of Flowers this May

The Hall of Flowers Palm Springs will take place on May 4-5, 2022. At the event itself, you can expect weed and people – people selling weed, people buying weed, people smoking weed. You can get eighth samples there for about $3. It’s pretty wild to witness and participate in because this is California’s finest weed. That being said, the purpose for brands is to do business to get into dispensaries so they can sell that weed at its true market value.

After the event is over for the day, there is usually a plethora of after parties. Here are some of the events that will take place during the opening.

May 4th – Wednesday

At the last Hall of Flowers event, Farechild’s Zodiac party was pretty cool. This May they are hosting an event called High On Life. It’s a hotel takeover with live music, art and lots of good vibes. It’s also a launch party for Liquid Culture Records.
