• EVENT DATE: Multiple Dates 12/04/2021-12/18/2021
• LOCATION: San Diego County, at 3 Dispensaries, & virtually via multiple social media platforms.

Our 3rd annual Cannabis & Hemp Career Fair + Business Expo has gone virtual this year to connect with more cities and to be socially responsible in light of COVID-19. Our goal started in 2019 when we came together to connect locals in the community with cannabis employers, career resources, education, and networking. At the same time, we wanted to provide brand recognition, consumer data, local promotion, and marketing throughout our network of over 50,000 cannabis consumers and professionals to new and established companies in the cannabis and hemp industry.

Join us this year for the fully interactive virtual Cannabis & Hemp Career Fair + Business Expo!

Both the Expo & the Harvest Cup have private and public events for those 21 years or older, open to the public for free viewing and educational purposes. Cannabis Contests, Judge experiences and B2B opportunities are available. Please take a look at these B2B & B2C event advertising opportunities in 2021:

History of San Diego Cannabis Farmers Market & Farmers Cup:

As you may have noticed, Farmers Cup has been making constant progress over the past five years to professionalize branding, operations, and overall event production. 2022 brings a whole new hope to our long journey as a licensed event company. San Diego County is making moves to create a framework for licensed event company operations; not to mention full legalization for other types of license holders. Already we have plans to be at Cannabis Row for the Earth Day at Balboa Park in April 2022. This event is a mainstream event with 50,000-60,000 expected guests. The 2021 virtual events are going to be a great way to ease into the blooming foundation of the San Diego cannabis market in 2022. The 2022 Farmers Cup Valentines Day Edition will be edibles & drinkables only as contestants and is accepting entrant registration starting 11/30! Reach out to Farmers Cup team for more details.  

For free event tickets, those seeking a career in the cannabis industry, or to network with businesses in the local San Diego market, please join here. For more information regarding this event please contact Russ@FarmersCupOfficial.com regarding media relations, sponsorship, or business relations.
