Cannabis Consumption Festival

The City of Santa Ana is seeking an experienced event‑production firm to design, market, and execute its inaugural cannabis‑focused festival in 2026. The vendor must handle all aspects of a large‑scale public event—including venue planning, licensing, security, vendor coordination, marketing, ticketing, and post‑event reporting—while ensuring compliance with California cannabis regulations and local ordinances. The festival is city‑funded, aims for a break‑even financial outcome (profit optional), and may run for one year with a possible one‑year extension. • Design and manage a 10,000‑20,000‑attendee cannabis festival (single‑ or multi‑day). • Secure all required state (DCC) and local licenses and coordinate with City departments for safety, policing, and permitting. • Provide full event services: site layout, staffing, security, AV, ticketing, marketing, vendor & sponsor management, ADA compliance, and post‑event reporting.
