Make the Most of Your Festival Season in Milwaukee: How to Properly Fest With Canni Hemp Co
Urban music festivals like Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, offer a unique and vibrant atmosphere where people can come together to celebrate music, art, and culture.

As Milwaukee's first specialty hemp store, let's explore how Canni Hemp Co can help make the most of your urban music festival experience! We'll highlight our favorite alcohol alternatives including CBD, legal hemp-derived THC offerings, and some of our best-selling mushroom products.

Stay Hydrated
This one is so important! Staying hydrated is crucial during a music festival, especially during hot summer days. Opt for water or non-alcoholic beverages to keep yourself refreshed and energized. Many festivals provide water stations or allow you to bring your own water bottles, so take advantage of these facilities and keep sipping throughout the day.
Exploring Hemp-Derived THC Products
For those seeking alternatives to alcohol, legal hemp-derived THC products can offer a unique and enjoyable experience. These products, which include edibles, gummies, and beverages, can provide a mellow and relaxing effect, enhancing your overall festival experience. Our best piece of advice? Consume responsibly! Nothing puts a bummer on the experience more than going a little too hard.
Sold exclusively at Canni Hemp Co, Mods Microdose gummies allow you to stay in control of your experience. With 5mg of hemp-derived THC per gummy, these are great for the beginner and heavy doser alike! Pop one or a few to modify on your own terms.

Hemp-infused beverages provide an enjoyable option for festival-goers. These beverages come in various flavors and offer a refreshing twist to your festival experience. Whether you prefer sparkling hemp drinks, hemp iced teas, or hemp-infused energy drinks, there's a wide selection to choose from. These beverages often contain a low THC content, ensuring a subtle effect while keeping you hydrated and energized. Canni Hemp Co keeps our fridge case stocked with options for all tastes and experience levels, but these products are available to shop at our flagship Walkers Point location only!

Exploring CBD Products
CBD, or cannabidiol, is another compound found in hemp plants that offers a range of potential benefits without the intoxicating effects of THC. CBD products can provide a sense of relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being. If you're looking to enjoy the festival without any psychoactive effects, CBD products such as oils, tinctures, topicals, or capsules can be great alternatives. Canni Hemp Co has been a trusted source for locally crafted CBD products since opening our Milwaukee location in 2018. The Canni Signature Line is a customer and staff favorite for functional wellness supplements.

The Marcus King Band [7:30P - BMO Harris Pavilion]
"Songwriter. Guitarist. Singer. Bandleader. At only 21 years of age, Marcus King's dazzling musical ability is evident throughout The Marcus King Band, the young phenom’s 2nd full-length LP and first for Fantasy Records. Operating within the fiery brand of American roots music that King calls "soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock," the album highlights King's gorgeous, rough-hewn vocals, soaring guitar work and heartfelt songwriting all amidst a group of masterful musicians who, together, are quickly becoming one of the country’s most sought after live acts."
Three Six Mafia [10:00P - US Cellular Connection Stage]
"Oscar-winning Three 6 Mafia founders DJ Paul and Juicy J birthed a sound that still heavily influences Hip Hop and Pop music. Their catalog spans over two decades and spawned a plethora of hits, as well as legendary collaborations for/with other artists like Outkast, UGK, T.I., Eightball & MJG, Project Pat, Lil Jon, Trick Daddy and so many more. The roots of crunk in Generation X have evolved into modern-day music, as Millennial and Gen-Z artists seek out the driving basslines and timeless energy of the genre."
Buddy Guy [10:00P - Uline Warehouse Stage]
At age 86, Buddy Guy is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues.

"The band will play a special set featuring incredible cuts from Bob Marley’s formidable back catalogue along with a string of their greatest, classic hits. The Wailers are giving you a chance to be part of the legacy. Aston Barrett Jr, himself reggae royalty as son of the irrepressible ‘Familyman’, carries the flame for The Wailers in a show that is simply not to be missed."
Friday
Sofi Tukker [10:15P - Miller Lite Oasis Stage]
"SOFI TUKKER, the genre-defying duo of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, is celebrated for their inclusive and global perspective on electronic music as well as their work's themes of liberation, unity, and self-empowerment.

With such an exceptional and singular sound, Santa Fe Klan has quickly become a household name."
NLE Choppa [9:30P - Generac Power Stage]
"NLE Choppa raps with a confidence, maturity, and magnetism few his age can match. The 19-year-old Memphis superstar came up making street-ready hip-hop full of grit, but his recent hits—and forthcoming Me Vs. Me project—showcase new depth and perspective. To be sure, Choppa still raps his ass off, churning out ecstatic, radio-ready hits. But he also turns inward, reflecting on his devotion to healthy living and numerology, and sharing more of himself than he ever has."
