Cannabis Florida Groves festival is all about cannabis, art, and music, and if you’re coming to learn about cannabis or celebrate cannabis-you’re in the right place. You’ll have the opportunity to inform yourself about marijuana legalization, get more into cannabis education and learn a few things about growing marijuana yourself with Florida Legacy Growers, and growers from around the US participating throughout the weekend. Tattoo Artists The ultimate fan move is getting a tattoo to remember your experience at the Florida Groves Festival. Not many public gatherings provide the opportunity to get some ink, but this music festival isn’t your everyday run-of-the-mill happening. Check out high-class artists and see which design would look good on your body. Live Art If you’re not an artist yourself, you’ve likely never witnessed the creation of a mural. This complicated process takes hours to complete, but lucky Florida Groves visitors will have an opportunity to see one from scratch to finish. A true collaboration, to see these artists work with their hands & make mental images into reality is just, for lack of better terminology, dope. Beyond that, they will have amazing glass blowing artists blowing everything from water pipes to pendants.
