As we head into 2025 with the intention of celebrating our 10th anniversary as a local advocacy organization, we're filled with gratitude. Thank you to all of our participants, attendees and supporters for a decade of genuine grassroots community connections and educational and economic opportunities.

 

Our commitment to keeping Alaska Hempfest a free, all-ages, family-friendly community event, ensuring accessibility for everyone, has always been a labor of love.

 

This model has been a challenge, with event costs covered out of pocket by the organizer who is a single mom. But the joy of witnessing our small vendors launch their dreams, and the satisfaction of providing a platform for voices from underserved and underrepresented Alaskan communities has made it all worthwhile.

 

Looking ahead to 2025, we're excited about the upcoming event season and the opportunities it will bring.

 

Our affiliate events in Washington, Oregon, Idaho continue to carry the torch, and we have hopes of growing our franchise and affiliate network under the HEMPFEST®️ banner (a nationwide expansion that was started back in 2015) once more.

 

The contributions of our supporters helps sustain this vital space for grassroots voices, mom & pop shops, and emerging entrepreneurs.  Join us in making the next decade of Alaska Hempfest even more impactful. Your generosity ensures that we can continue to uplift our community and champion the causes that matter most.

 

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey, and here's to another Ten Years!!!
