About The Emerald Cup
The Emerald Cup is California's longest-running cannabis competition, celebrating sun-grown and craft cultivation with judged awards across flower, concentrates, edibles and more, alongside a festival with vendors, music and education. Historically held in December in Santa Rosa, recent editions have run in summer at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.
Winning an Emerald Cup category remains one of the most-cited accolades for California brands and cultivators.
