Yes We Cann Parade Details

By Events

The Yes We Cann Parade and Hullabaloo is almost here! We are marching through Arcata on Saturday, August 12th. The parade will start at 2:00 PM in the HSU Parking Lot at the corner of 14th and Union streets and end at the Arcata Ball Park at 3:00 pm.

Yes We Cann Parade route through the streets of Arcata.

Check-in and parade line up will be held between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Please arrive during the designated check-in time so that we can get you lined up and ready to go. We encourage you to signup for the parade online prior to August 12th, but in-person registrations are welcome the day of the parade.

During check-in, everyone in your group will need to sign a waiver in order to walk in the parade. After you sign the waiver you will receive a wristband that will be used as your free entry into the Hullabaloo event at the Ball park. Once check-in is complete we will direct you to the parade Staging Coordinator who will line you up in the appropriate area. You MUST have your wristband to walk into the parade. Legally, we cannot have folks who have not registered jumping into parade from the sidelines.

There will be hydration stations along the parade route, however we encourage you to bring a water bottle and stay hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin and wear sunscreen or bring a hat. Keep in mind that you will be walking a good distance so wear comfortable shoes and clothing.

Please make sure to clean up after yourself and leave no trash behind at the starting point of the parade in the HSU parking lot. It is our goal to leave the space better than when we found it.

When the parade ends at the Arcata Ball Park for the Hullabaloo, you must disperse and clear the streets so that we don’t hold up regular traffic. If you plan to attend the Hullabaloo, please plan ahead and figure out a game plan for where to park your float.

Please email us at contact@gohumboldtgreen.com if you have any questions about the parade. Remember the theme is GREEN so have fun dressing up or wearing a costume.

We would love to see your parade photos! Please use the hashtag #YesWeCann if you post to social media so that we can find and share your pics.

Cannabis Queen

Cannabis Queens

By Events

Humboldt Green is in search of several queens from all walks of life who support cannabis culture to escort the Cannifest float through the streets of Arcata in the Yes We Cann Parade on August 12th. The first ten queens to register will earn a spot on top of the Cannifest float. Any additional Queens are welcome to ride in fancy cars or walk alongside the Cannifest float.

All local pageant queens and princesses, Rutabaga queens, Humboldt County Fair queens, rodeo queens, festival queens, queens & princesses of social media, queen bee farmers, boss ladies and drag queens are all welcome to participate. The royal cannabis court is open to any queen or princess who holds an official local title and any self-proclaimed cannabis queen as well.

Interested cannabis kings are also encouraged to register for the parade and are invited to march alongside the queen’s float to the Hullabaloo.

Register early and sign up to participate as a queen or king in the Yes We Cann Parade. On the sign up form make sure to mark the cannabis queens & kings check box so that we know to add you to the royal cannabis court.

We will have a Cannifest float building day that all of the queens and kings are invited to participate in. Float building day will be announced soon.

We hope to have some type of cannabis queen and king pageant or ball next year at Cannifest to select the royal cannabis court for the 2018 Yes We Cann Parade. Stay tuned as we get closer to the next Cannifest.
