Annual Errl Cup FALL Event

October 7th – 8th 2023

Twice yearly, we hold the Errl Cup festival. Where we start by going to dispensaries across Arizona to secret shop them for flower and concentrates they produce. In the spring we secret shop flowers, in the fall we secret shop concentrates.

To qualify to be secret shopped you must be licensed in Arizona to manufacture your own cannabis flowers or concentrates. Each dispensary & wholesaler that creates their own products will be secret shopped for the best cannabis they produce, by choice of the budtender. 

With 35 different categories to enter.  We break these categories up into two classes, Dispensary Class and Open Class.
