The world's longest-running cannabis legalization event, founded in 1973 by the Yippies. Organizational disputes between NYCCPR Inc. (legacy board), Cannabis NYC (NYC Small Business Services office), and former director Dana Beal's 'Re-Claim the Pot Parade' have clouded the 2025–2026 editions. Expect announcements closer to date; also watch for competing events on the same weekend. This is an advocacy-rooted event — for commercial/industry programming, see Revelry NY in September.
