CannaFest 2026 – International Cannabis Expo & Conference in Prague

CannaFest – International Trade Fair for Cannabis and Medicinal Herbs is one of the most significant cannabis events in Europe – and in 2026 it once again takes place at the PVA Expo Prague Letňany in Prague, Czech Republic. This three-day highlight of the scene brings together people from all over the world who are interested in the medical, cultural and economic sides of the hemp plant.

📅 Date & Venue

📍 6–8 November 2026
📌 PVA Expo Praha Letňany, Prague, Czech Republic

The event runs across three days. Alongside the official expo area, CannaFest offers a varied programme of specialist conferences, exhibition stands and interactive content all centred on cannabis and medicinal plants.

🌿 What to expect

CannaFest is more than just a trade fair – it is an international festival of the cannabis community and industry. Since its founding in 2009, the event has established itself as one of the most stable and largest cannabis fairs in Europe.

🛍️ Exhibitors & Expo Area

Across several hall spaces, numerous international exhibitors present products, technologies and services covering:

  • Cannabis products and CBD ranges
  • Grow equipment, cultivation technology & seeds
  • Medical applications, pharmaceutical products and innovations
  • Accessories, smoking articles and lifestyle brands

The fair is open to trade visitors and consumers alike and offers a broad spectrum of topics surrounding cannabis.

🧠 Professional conference

Running in parallel with the exhibition, a conference takes place each day, featuring international experts from medicine, research, law and industry. These talks and panels are generally accessible to all ticket holders and offer a deep insight into the latest developments in the sector.

📈 Why CannaFest is a must

CannaFest represents a unique meeting point between the scene, science, business and culture. Every year the fair draws thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors from all over the world, bringing together:

✔️ Knowledge & learning through talks and panels

✔️ International perspectives – because here cultures and markets come together

The event is ideal for:

  • Cannabis enthusiasts and newcomers to the industry
  • Professional users and experts
  • Entrepreneurs, traders and investors
  • Patients and those with a medical interest

– in short: for everyone who wants to dive deeper into the world of cannabis.

Cannabis events at a glance

This page is all about events around cannabis and hemp. Whether you follow the industry, want to connect with like-minded people or simply need to know when the next fair near you takes place: the calendar above lists all upcoming dates chronologically, with filters for category and location.

The cannabis scene has grown considerably in recent years, and so has the number of events. Since the German Cannabis Act, the established trade fairs have been joined by ever more regional formats: club meetings, information evenings held by cultivation associations, expert talks and festivals. To help you keep track, we sort every date by format.

Hemp fair and cannabis fair: where the industry meets

Trade fairs are where the industry meets itself. Manufacturers show new products, cultivation associations look for suppliers, trade visitors compare equipment, and everyone else gets an overview in one afternoon that would otherwise take weeks to assemble. The German-speaking region now has a dense network of fairs.

Among the fixtures are Mary Jane Berlin as Germany’s largest hemp fair, the Cultiva Hanfexpo in Vienna, CannaTrade in Zurich and the Cannafair in Düsseldorf. They are joined by younger formats such as the CB Expo in Dortmund, the CannaFriends and HAMCAN in Hamburg.

If it is your first time at a cannabis fair: set aside a whole day for the large ones, wear comfortable shoes and plan the expert talks in advance. The talks are usually the most valuable part and run in parallel to the exhibition.

Cannabis festival: culture, music and lifestyle

A cannabis festival combines music, art and lifestyle with hemp culture. It is less about business than about atmosphere: a stage programme, food stalls, exhibitors and an audience that spends the day together rather than working through appointments. For many people that is the more comfortable way into the scene.

The calendar includes the Cannafestival in Karlsruhe and the Ruhr Reggae Summer, among others. Festivals without an explicit cannabis focus, such as SummerJam at Fühlinger See, have traditionally been part of the scene as well.

Cannabis conference and industry events

Cannabis conferences are aimed at a professional audience. Doctors, lawyers, investors, pharmacies and companies meet to discuss medical cannabis, research, legislation and market developments. If you work with the subject professionally, this is where the information is densest.

Relevant dates include the ICBC Berlin, the Medicinal Cannabis Congress, World Class Cannabis Business Europe and, internationally, the MJBizCon in Las Vegas.

Hanfparade and community events

The Hanfparade in Berlin is Germany’s largest demonstration for hemp as a raw material, a medicine and a recreational substance, and has taken place since 1997. It stands for education, legalisation and social change, and combines activism with community spirit.

Then there is 420 on the twentieth of April, marked worldwide and spawning its own gatherings in many cities. Community events are usually the least complicated way in: no entrance fee, no jargon, and you meet people who can help with everything else.

All your weed is love.

Cannabis events internationally

If you are willing to travel, Europe offers some of the biggest dates there are. Spannabis in Bilbao is considered the most significant cannabis fair in Europe, and the Cannafest in Prague one of the best attended. In North America, NECANN, Hall of Flowers in California and the Champs Trade Show are fixtures.

When planning a fair abroad, factor in the legal situation at your destination. What may be shown and sold at a fair differs considerably from country to country, and the rules on taking anything across a border are strict everywhere.
