This weekend in Southern California a fantastic event is taking place – The Secret Cup. Between this event and the Cannabis Cup in Denver, it’s truly a magical time to be a marijuana fan and consumer. Sadly, I won’t be at either event. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t! Below is information about the Secret Cup (Click here to buy tickets, use promo code ‘WeedMaps710’ and general tickets are only 10 bucks!):
What began as a private competition between the truly elite has now become a celebration of underground art and artistry that is taking the world by storm. Don’t let this be a secret anymore, come find out what everyone is whispering about, join us for an evening of expression and entertainment. See the latest in lifestyle brands, popular hat and shoe companies, experience the highest quality concentrates, checkout LIVE graffiti art, be amazed by all kinds of functional glass art and even a LIVE glass sculpture demo.
Join the 710 community in Southern California for a private party and concert. Also celebrate with the winners of the 1st annual SoCal Secret Cup Regionals! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be invited to compete in the nationals in December.
We have secured an amazing venue for the party and concert. Although we can’t release the location we are able to tell you that we are building on the success of the Heal The Nation Bash and bringing that experience to you.
The Secret Cup is the first competition created by, run by, judged by, and created for hash makers. We seek to raise the bar across the board and across the country with friendly competition among our peers.
We were partially inspired by the Jean Claude Van Damme movie “Bloodsport,” the story of a secret martial arts competition at an undisclosed location that saw the world’s best fighters come and fight it out until there was only champion. In the same way the winners of this competition will represent the SoCaL region in the ultimate hash battle and will win the ultimate prize, the chance to take home “The Belt” for a year, the respect of their peers, and the title of “Champ” until we do all this over again.
