St. Vincent and the Grenadines is gearing up to welcome visitors from around the world for CannaBliss SVG 2025, the Caribbean’s premier medicinal cannabis festival, set for October 2–5 at Victoria Park in Kingstown.
Now in its second edition, the festival promises “More of Everything” — more culture, innovation, music and cannabis. Organized by the country’s Medicinal Cannabis Authority (MCA), the four-day event will feature conferences and networking sessions with global cannabis leaders and medical experts, an expo and Traditional Cultivators’ Village highlighting Vincentian farming heritage, and guided farm and facility tours across St. Vincent.
Entertainment will take center stage on October 4 with a grand reggae concert headlined by international icons Beenie Man and Spragga Benz, alongside top local performers. The celebration wraps up on October 5 with a catamaran cruise to Bequia, offering a scenic escape to the Grenadines.
“Our industry has already attracted more than EC$60 million in private investment, created hundreds of jobs, and positioned SVG as a global leader in medicinal cannabis,” said Dr. Jerrol Thompson, CEO of the MCA. “CannaBliss SVG 2025 will build on this momentum while deepening international partnerships.”
Agriculture Minister Saboto Caesar described the festival as a meeting point for traditional cultivators, investors, health professionals and researchers, calling it “a powerful fusion of culture, innovation and economic growth.”
More than 400 international delegates are expected to join regional and local attendees. Hotels and other accommodation partners across the islands are offering special rates to make the experience more accessible, inviting visitors to enjoy not only the festival but also St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ natural beauty and warm hospitality.
CannaBliss SVG aims to showcase the nation’s culture and pioneering role in medicinal cannabis while giving travelers a chance to experience a true Caribbean paradise.
