The organizers also boast of a double sized "consumption area" or "215 Area" where people with a valid medical cannabis card will be able to smoke, eat or vaporize their marijuana. The outdoor area is located in front of the City Hall.

The 215 is a reference to Proposition 215 which legalized the medical use of marijuana in California 16 years ago.

The event will feature vendors, booths and music.
