Located in the heart of California, the Santa Cruz region is the “Cannabis Hub” for the western United States. Its ideal weather conditions and conscientious community create the perfect environment for marijuana cultivation. This is why once a year we hold the Santa Cruz Cup! It’s a great opportunity to share techniques, discuss advances in science, educate your fellow cultivators, and celebrate the best medicine cultivated in the Santa Cruz county area!
This year’s event will be hosted in a spacious 1k capacity venue featuring an outdoor area with booths from local businesses, Santa Cruz Cup sponsors, live music, educational exhibits, and an indoor concert / awards ceremony.
Each sponsoring cannabis collectives throughout Santa Cruz county elects 2 representatives to be Judges. You cannot buy a position as a judge. What makes the Santa Cruz Cup different from all the other “cannabis cups” is that every collective has input to who wins. This combined with its anonymous evaluation from in-house containers and a score card of all of the characteristics of marijuana make the SC CUP one of the last great cups!
