Guests will interact with the industry pioneers bringing recreational cannabis to the Hudson Valley, including cannabis brands, growers, and manufacturers. In addition to cannabis products available at the new Green Market, festival-goers will be able to enjoy games, gourmet food trucks, and a craft beer and wine garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year will also feature the announcement of the winners for the Excelsior Cup, a competition for the best cannabis products in NYS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two sold out Cannastock festivals, we are excited to produce the biggest and best one ever; this time in a spacious grassland with the Catskill Mountains as our backdrop. There will be more exhibitors, games, and chill out areas, along with a larger variety of food trucks and craft beers and wine. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and enjoy live reggae music all day followed by a performance by our favorite party band, Andy Frasco & The U.N.<\/p>\nCannastock Co-Founder Gary Chetkof<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Andy Frasco & The U.N., a blues and rock band, are loved for their kaleidoscopic musical fusion and one-of-a-kind onstage audacity. They will soon release their new album, L’Optimist<\/em>, their sixth studio album. The new album charts a path of self-exploration and personal discovery through introspective lyrics and music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SunDub released their debut album, Burden of Love <\/em>in 2019 to millions of views. The reggae group rallies around the idea that people are the strongest when they work together with those from different backgrounds to create positive change. The core quintet of the group includes guitarist Finn Singer; bassist Josh T Carter; vocalist and keyboardist Eric \u201cThe General\u201d Toussaint; and the brother-sister team of Joanna Teters as lead vocalist and Ben Teters as a vocalist and drummer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
