NEW YORK — Hall of Flowers, a cannabis trade show, comes to Pier 36 at 299 South Street on the Lower East Side on Wednesday, Oct. 21, and Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, according to the organizer. This is a trade show, not a public festival. Here is who can get in, what to wear and what to pack.
Hall of Flowers NYC 2026: who can attend
Hall of Flowers says admission is limited to cannabis industry professionals with proper credentials. Oct. 21 is for buyers only. Oct. 22 is open to buyers, industry and budtenders.
The organizer's ticket page lists a Day 2 industry pass that requires no application, priced at $295 and $395 in two tiers, with limited supply. A two-day pass at $595 is for verified operators and needs an application and approval. Retailers can apply for a free pass. The ticket page says the pass is not meant for agencies, service providers or solicitors, and no on-site pitching is allowed.
At the door, you claim a wristband with an ID that matches the name on your Eventbrite ticket. Keep the wristband on. You need it to get back in on day two, and Hall of Flowers says it cannot replace one that is lost, cut or damaged.

Hall of Flowers NYC streetwear: what to wear on the pier
A trade show floor is a work day. You will meet buyers and brands, shake hands and stand for seven hours. Dress like you are there on business, in clothes that still say you belong in the culture.
- One clean graphic tee. A dark tee with a simple print reads well in photos and in meetings. Our New York City Est. 1969 Gold Leaf Tee was made for this city.
- A hoodie or jacket for the walk. Pier 36 sits on the East River. The walk from the subway runs several blocks in the open.
- Good shoes. Two days on a concrete floor is hard on your feet.
- Pockets. You will collect cards, samples and swag. A crossbody bag keeps your hands free.
- A second shirt for day two. Your wristband stays on. Your shirt does not have to.
Pier 36 cannabis festival outfits: plan for the weather
Many people call Hall of Flowers a festival, but it is a business event with booths. Outfits still matter, because brands photograph the floor all day. Late October in Manhattan can be cool and windy by the water. Check the National Weather Service forecast for New York City the night before, and wear layers you can carry.
The Forever Summer collection is buy 3 tees, get 1 free, which covers both show days and the trip home. Bundle Up is any two hoodies for $100. Every order ships free in the US with no minimum.

By car, the organizer says to plan on 30 to 60 minutes from JFK, LaGuardia or Newark airports. It lists garages on Division Street, Delancey Street and Allen Street, and parking near Pier 35.
New York's cannabis law generally allows adults to smoke cannabis where tobacco smoking is allowed, with limits. Follow the venue's rules on the floor.
