THIS ISN’T JUST A FESTIVAL… IT’S A WHOLE CANNABIS CITY IN THE PINES | Summer High Fest Is About to Change NY Forever
Let me paint you a picture real quick…
It’s summer 2026 in New York. You’re not stuck on your couch scrolling through the same 12 people arguing in comment sections. You’re not watching someone else “live life” through a phone screen. You’re somewhere different.
You’re under the pines. Music is hitting from two stages. The air smells like food trucks, creativity, and maybe a little something sticky from the BudStock side of the world. Somewhere in the distance, someone just won the Home Growers Championship and is acting like they just got drafted into the NBA.
Welcome to Summer High Fest.
And according to Woodz Treez, this isn’t just another cannabis event trying to slap a logo on a flyer and call it culture. This is something built from the ground up with intention, experience, and a little bit of “we’re tired of waiting for someone else to do it right, so we did it ourselves.”
THREE EVENTS. ONE WEEKEND. ZERO CHILL.
Summer High Fest is not playing small.
2026 marks the first-ever Summer High Festival, but don’t get it twisted—this thing is built on serious foundation:
Summer High Music Festival (Year 1)
BudStock Cannabis Convention (Year 4)
The Home Growers Championship (Year 3)
So what you’re really getting is not one event… but three communities colliding into one giant weekend experience.
And yes—there are designated 21+ cannabis areas, but there’s also something you don’t see enough in this space: a family-friendly festival atmosphere outside those zones. Music, art, camping, food, vendors, workshops… the whole spectrum.
In other words: if you can’t find something to enjoy here, you might just be the problem.
WHY THIS WAS BUILT (AND WHY IT MATTERS)
Woodz Treez made one thing very clear in his interview: this didn’t come from a trend. It came from necessity.
After helping build festival experiences at another venue that eventually shifted, the vision didn’t die—it evolved.
Instead of folding it, they rebuilt it stronger.
And the mission stayed the same:
A safe, welcoming space where music lovers, artists, growers, cannabis enthusiasts, families, and first-time festival goers can exist together without chaos, ego, or division.
That’s a rare sentence in 2026.
WHAT YOU’RE WALKING INTO
If you pull up to Summer High, here’s what hits you first:
It’s the energy.
Not forced. Not corporate. Not “please clap for our brand activation.”
Just people.
Then everything else stacks on top:
75+ artists across two stages
Hip-Hop, Funk, Reggae, EDM, Bass and live bands
EDM until 4AM
Live painters and artists
Laser shows and immersive visuals
Food vendors
Vendor village
Camping beneath the pines
Educational cannabis programming
21+ giveaways all weekend
And somewhere in the middle of all that… you’ll probably realize you just met five strangers who now feel like old friends.
That’s the point.
THE VENDORS AREN’T AN AFTERTHOUGHT
One thing that separates Summer High from the “pop-up and pray” events is the lineup of real community businesses involved.
Cannabis vendors include:
Ganja Pigs
Frost Kingz
Kine Buds
Highly Baked
Fatboyy Cannabis
Bucket Of Budz
Prada Pax
Squids
Mini Mart
Central Oddities
Best Budz
Woodz Treez
Food vendors include Uncle Mitch Munchies, High Hillz Hotdogs, Mrs. Sweets Bake Shoppe, Cosmic Creations, Food For The Homies and The Grovelink.
Artists and creators include Mushroom Girl, Do Not Feed The Art, Ashley In Wonderland, BDA, Crown City Curiosities, Rei Of Light, The LotShop and many more.
Even better, the lineup is still growing.
A LITTLE INSIDER TIP FROM OG STRAIN…
Since you’re already reading The Plug’s Pages, here’s something special.
Woodz Treez told me they’ll be representing at Summer High Fest all weekend.
If you stop by their booth, make a purchase, and mention that you read this article or simply tell them, “OG Strain sent me,” don’t be surprised if they show you a little extra love.
And while you’re there, don’t just walk away with your purchase.
Woodz Treez is planning to have a bong set up at their booth for adults in the designated 21+ area, so stop by, take a hit with the crew, and let them know OG Strain sent you. It’s a great excuse to meet the team, hang out for a minute, and become part of the Summer High experience.
I’m not going to spoil exactly what that “extra love” might be—that’s between you and them.
Maybe it’s something extra.
Maybe it’s a surprise.
Maybe it’s just some VIP treatment.
The only way to find out… is to walk over, take a rip, and say those magic words.
Then come find me later and tell me what happened.
WHY YOU SHOULD SHOW UP (AND NOT JUST “THINK ABOUT IT”)
Woodz said it perfectly.
This isn’t about spending another weekend staring at a screen.
It’s about disconnecting from everyday life and reconnecting with people.
Camping.
Music.
Art.
Cannabis education.
Great food.
Late-night sets.
Meaningful conversations.
Whether you arrive with twenty friends or by yourself, you’re walking into a community that wants you there.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
Most cannabis events focus on one lane.
Summer High combines them all.
A cannabis convention.
A growers championship.
A music festival.
An art festival.
A camping experience.
A community gathering.
Instead of choosing one culture, Summer High brings them together into one unforgettable weekend.
That’s what makes it different.

FINAL WORD
There was one sentence from the interview that really stuck with me:
“Summer High isn’t just a festival—it’s a community.”
People throw that word around a lot.
Community.
But after reading everything they’re building, it doesn’t sound like marketing.
It sounds genuine.
Music.
Cannabis.
Art.
Camping.
Education.
Families.
Growers.
Creators.
Everyone sharing one unforgettable weekend beneath the pines.
If Summer High delivers on everything they’re promising, this won’t just be another event on the calendar.
It’ll be the one people spend the next year talking about.
And if you decide to stay home…
Don’t blame me when your friends won’t stop telling stories about everything you missed.
