CannaCrawl is a culture-driven, grassroots marketplace event that puts diversity, equity, and inclusion front and centre — a recognition that the price of legalization was paid largely by racialized and marginalized communities. It is committed to preserving, showcasing, and celebrating the spirit and culture of the legacy industry, and today welcomes both legacy and licensed brands. CannaCrawl is a Black-owned event and has been running every summer since July 2018.
The 2026 Summer Festival takes place Saturday, July 25 — a full-day celebration of community, culture, and elevated summer vibes. Expect a curated festival atmosphere with 100+ exhibitors, artisan food vendors, local creators, and unique pop-ups, a live DJ throughout the day, guest speakers, premium giveaways, and interactive activations. Entry is 19+ with valid government photo ID.
Hamilton is an easy drive for much of southern Ontario. Six Nations of the Grand River is roughly 40 minutes southwest, and the festival sits within a two-to-three hour drive of many other reserves and major cities — Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, and beyond. It makes for an easy day trip if you want to pair the festival with a visit to nearby Indigenous-owned dispensaries.
