Top Cannabis Events & Expos in Europe (2026 Calendar)

Europe hosts some of the world's most important cannabis industry events, from massive trade expos attracting thousands of professionals to intimate festivals celebrating cannabis culture. Whether you are an industry professional, investor, grower, or enthusiast, attending a European cannabis event is a unique way to connect with the global cannabis community. This guide covers the top cannabis events across Europe for 2026, including dates, locations, what to expect, and tips for getting the most out of your attendance. We cover trade shows, consumer festivals, medical conferences, and cultural events across the continent.

Spannabis is Europe's largest cannabis expo, held annually in Barcelona (usually March). The event attracts over 30,000 visitors and features hundreds of exhibitors from seed banks, grow equipment manufacturers, extraction companies, CBD brands, and more. Spannabis occupies a massive venue at the Fira de Cornellà and includes live music, competitions, educational panels, and product demonstrations. Combining Spannabis with Barcelona's cannabis club scene makes for the ultimate European cannabis weekend.

Mary Jane Berlin has grown into Germany's premier cannabis event, held annually at Arena Berlin (typically June). Following Germany's 2024 legalization, the expo has expanded significantly, attracting international exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors. The event covers recreational and medical cannabis, hemp products, CBD, grow technology, and cannabis culture. Berlin's vibrant nightlife and food scenes make it an ideal host city, and the event often coincides with outdoor festivals and cultural programming.

Cannafest Prague is one of Europe's longest-running cannabis trade shows, held at the PVA Expo Praha (usually November). The event draws visitors from across Central and Eastern Europe and features exhibitors, educational seminars, growing competitions, and a strong focus on hemp and CBD products. Prague's affordability makes it an excellent event to attend on a budget, and the timing in late autumn means fewer tourist crowds and lower hotel prices.

Other notable European cannabis events include the InterChanvre Congress (France, focusing on industrial hemp), the ICBC (International Cannabis Business Conference) which rotates between European cities, Cannabis Europa (held in London, focusing on medical and regulatory topics), and the Cultiva Hemp Expo in Vienna. Several smaller events and festivals have emerged in Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Athens, catering to both industry professionals and consumers.

Medical cannabis conferences are a growing segment of the European events calendar. The European Cannabis Association (ECA) hosts regular summits, and the European Society of Medicine organizes cannabis-specific tracks at its annual conference. These events attract researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and pharmaceutical companies, and they represent the more formal side of Europe's evolving cannabis landscape. For investors and business professionals, these conferences offer valuable networking and market intelligence.
