As part of Oakland Style week (10/18/23 to 10/22/23), various places and pockets of Oakland will come alive with ‘stylish happenings’ and heady activities that are a celebration of Oakland’s creativity and culture. Inspired by New York Fashion Week, Oakland Style is billed as a five-day series of events that include culinary experiences, cultural conversations, art walks, fashion shows, musical performances and more – including a curated cannabis experience.
High on Oakland Style is an Oakland cannabis unboxing experience curated specifically for Oakland Style week. The High on Oakland Style goody bag spotlights The Town’s signature award-winning makers and innovative hyper-local cannabis craft. The goody bag items reflect the Oakland cannabis story and represent The Town’s vibrant cannabis scene today. Visitors are invited to enjoy this swag bag full of inspiring Oakland cannabis-themed goodies.
Starting on October 18th, there are a total of 200 High on Oakland Style cannabis goody bags available across four signature stand-out cannabis shops and lounges found along The Oakland Cannabis Trail. Visitors are invited to discover the sleek and modern decor at Rootd in the 510, shop near the beautiful lake Merritt at Oakanna, relax and sift through your goody bag in the lounge at Blunts & Moore, or indulge in a wellness experience at Harborside. Bags are limited to one per person, while supplies last.
