Legends Valley Music Fest and High Times join forces to host first-ever Canadian Cannabis Cup

Legends Valley Music Fest and High Times join forces to host first-ever Canadian Cannabis Cup

In a perfect world, every music fest would be as utopian as the Legends Valley Music Festival: tidy campsites, flush toilets, and all the free swag you can possibly get your hands on.

To top it off, the folks behind the fest are one-upping last year’s inaugural event with a special collaboration that is sure to excite those who purchased their tickets months in advance: marijuana media giant High Times has jumped on board to host the first-ever High Times Cannabis Cup in Canada.

Camping, concerts, a massive cannabis expo, and more free dabs than you can shake a stick at will round out the festival’s offerings. It’s guaranteed to be a weekend you won’t soon forget.

Not only does the collaboration mean a bigger festival with a new name (High Times Cannabis Cup Canada); it also means that rapper Wyclef Jean will be joining the likes of House of Pain, Sloan, Five Alarm Funk, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Delinquent Habits, and other artists who will be hitting the stage during the four-day fest.

According to festival organizer Matt Harvey, the cannabis cup will still have the same rules as last year’s Bio Cup, but will bear the High Times name.

‘All weekend long there’s a people’s choice competition, and there will be a celebrity panel of judges, plus a whole bunch of celebrities in the Vancouver and B.C. cannabis industries.

‘Basically, people who can tolerate being saturated with a lot of THC,’ Harvey tells the Straight with a chuckle.

The awards ceremony for the cup will take place on Sunday.

For Harvey, who organized the festival’s first cannabis cup last year, working with High Times means more publicity for not just Legends Valley, but B.C. Bud, too.

It also means that attendees will find two to three times the number of vendors at the cannabis expo.

The long-time grower says he’s excited to see what other growers are bringing to the table this year.

‘I won my first Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam in 2004 for God Bud, and it was a life changer, and such a prestigious feat. I wish good luck to everyone who entered,’ he said.

His band, Antipolitic, will also hit the stage on Saturday, opening for Delinquent Habits.

‘I’m excited for the whole vibe. It will be cool to see House of Pain on their 25th anniversary too,’ he added.

‘If you’re a cannabis connoisseur or aficionado, you should definitely come—let’s vibe out on the music and the beauty of Lake Cowichan—and don’t miss the Antipolitic show.’

The Legends Valley Music Festival/High Times Cannabis Cup Canada will take place at Laketown Ranch in Cowichan Valley from Thursday, August 24 to Sunday, August 27. Find tickets here.

Kirk's journey through the digital realm began with lines of code and algorithms dancing in his dreams. Armed with a keyboard and an insatiable curiosity, he embarked on the path of software engineering. However, fate had a smoky twist in store for him. As the ones and zeros swirled around him, Kirk had an epiphany – he realized that he was more interested in the highs and lows of the cannabis industry than debugging lines of code. With a leap of faith that would make a bungee jumper blush, he bid farewell to the world of semicolons and database queries and embraced the intoxicating allure of cannabis journalism. Now, Kirk finds himself navigating a different kind of network, one that's all about buds, trichomes, and terpenes. Armed with a pen that's mightier than a vaporizer and a keen eye for detail, he's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the green world.
