The new festival is being billed as a “Medical Camping Festival” and is organizers are expecting thousands of people to show up to Camp Verde for Errl Camp.
The Errl Camp event is promoted as a weekend of cannabis, camping, music, and friends and is putting on an event on Sept. 25 and 26.
“It’s coming into the mainstream, and we want everybody to be part of it,” Jason Johnson said, who is helpign ti put on Cannival, another festival. That festival is scheduled for February and is aiming to mix the annual tradition of Carnival with cannabis.
Johnson is helping put on Cannival, a festival scheduled for February that aims to mix cannabis with the annual tradition of Carnival.
The idea for Cannival is the brainchild of Johnson and David Fowler, the executive director of Arizona’s Cannabis Industry Trade Association.
“We have stiltwalkers and fire breathers and samba dancers and a luchador ring,” Johnson said.
According to Johnson, the event will help to raise awareness and promote products like MjM. Johnson said MjM has an app to help cannabis users wherever they go.
The event willl also provide information on everything from laws in a local area to cannabis-friendly music acts.
The event is set for February 26, and the group hopes to have more than 10,000 people attend.
“We have strict rules and guidelines, and we are looking to do it right the first time so we can do many more of them,” Johnson said.
