Bud Bash 2022 Toronto Recap Video

As you entered the event you were greeted by stunning activations such as Flowr’s all blue lounge or Tantalus’ table full of their cannabis to sniff. The Toronto Maple Leaf’s game was projected on an entire wall of the main floor to be sure no one missed the action (maybe next year, Leaf’s fans)! An assortment of snacks and beverages were available on the prize table where Liiv was hanging out, however, if attendees wanted to try something a little different, they just needed to visit Bedfellows’ activation where they could get a cold, uninfused beverage to sample or Spinach’s table for a sample of their Spinach Feelz gummies. The Buddi & TOQi teams were also on the main floor demonstrating both of their technological breakthroughs for retail and after-shift activities. Needed a breath of fresh air? Tastemakers had an outdoor consumption space that was constantly full of movers and shakers across the industry blazing some of the best.

Upstairs, some of the best cannabis brands were connected with budtenders. Original Stash greeted attendees as they reached the second floor. Haven St. Premium Cannabis was showing off some of their latest flower across from them and should have brought a “Wet Floor” sign for all of the salivation happening over their bud. Need a drink to warm your spirit? BOAZ was nestled in the back serving up samples of their new Wake & Bake coffee over the whirl of their Keurig machines.

Throughout the night, lines began to form to the basement where BLKMKT had done a full brand takeover. The previously white basement was turned pitch black with matching furniture to hang out after speaking with their representatives and learning about flower that is soon coming to the Ontario market. They also had the DJ nestled down with them, donning all black, ready for requests to add to the mix of upbeat jams that were playing all night long.

This year’s Bud Bash was a smash hit, with over 350 Budtenders getting together to celebrate the best brands in Canada and the cannabis community. Miss this year’s night of prizes, swag, and fun?
