On Sunday June 16th, the VOC (Union for the Abolition of Cannabis Prohibition) presents the fifth edition of Cannabis Liberation Day, Holland’s biggest cannabis culture festival. Entrance is free!

Why go?
On Cannabis Liberationday we send a signal to all politicians: down with the tourist ban for coffeeshops and all other repressive measures against cannabis. It’s time for rational legalization. The more people turn up, the clearer the signal. Besides: a splendid time is guaranteed for all…

What’s on?
Apart from a full program with bands, speakers and Dj’s, there’s a hemp market, fresh food and drinks, Evert’s fabulous Vaporizers and a Cannabis Film Festival in Europe’s largest Ger tent. For the first time we’re hosting the Highlife Cannabis Cup ceremonies. Scroll down for full schedule of events.
