A New York trade show spills off the pier and into the city

Hall of Flowers brought more than 200 exhibitors and buyers from 500 licensed stores to Pier 36, while an open citywide week grew around the trade floor with comedy, art and a stage show covering ten thousand years of cannabis history. New York artist KRINK created the event’s visual identity, and the programme spread across Manhattan and Brooklyn. A trade badge is still required inside, but the culture has already climbed over the turnstile.
