If you enjoy cannabis, music, and community, this Saturday's Unity Fest is an event you don't want to miss. Taking place on September 20 from 2-9 PM at the Long Island Estonian House, Unity Fest is set to be one of the most dynamic cultural events of the season. Hosted by the Long Island Cannabis Coalition and sponsored by Planet Nugg Cannabis Superstore, this all-day festival will feature live music, local food, handcrafted art, and an unmatched celebration of New York's evolving canna culture.
With the summer season coming to a close, Unity Fest offers an opportunity to experience wellness, creativity, and entertainment in one place, while exploring the fast-growing cannabis landscape of New York.
Unity Fest will bring a full lineup of high-energy performances across multiple genres. On the main stage, audiences can expect Noah's Arc (420 Show), The Pressure Cookers, The Scofflaws, Decoded, and Souper Sabbath with a special Ozzy Osbourne tribute. The night will close with a headlining set from IRIEspect, a six-piece reggae band known for keeping crowds moving.
Adding to the atmosphere, DJ Moodmaker and DJ Steve Venti will spin music throughout the day, while the Fit Factory FIRE GIRLZ deliver a performance that promises to keep the energy levels high.
For cannabis enthusiasts, the Green Zone is one of the festival's most exciting features. It's a chance to meet top licensed New York cannabis brands, explore innovative products, and connect with industry leaders. Some of the featured names include Dime, Runtz, Heavy Hitters, Stiiizy, Cookies, Kiva, Jaunty, MFNY, Pure Vibe, Doobie Labs, and Silly Nice -- along with dozens of other brands shaping the market.
This zone isn't just about showcasing products; it's about educating consumers, building connections, and highlighting the importance of safe, legal cannabis culture in New York State.
The Creative Zone will spotlight Long Island's artistic community. Guests can browse handcrafted goods, from jewelry and candles to live art demonstrations and glassblowing. Makers such as Jenny Handler, Dank Drawings, Long Island Glass, Jesse Tyler, and Shakedown Headshop will be showcasing unique creations. It's an opportunity to support small businesses while discovering one-of-a-kind products you won't find anywhere else.
A celebration this big wouldn't be complete without food. Unity Fest will feature a Foodie Zone packed with local food trucks and vendors. Options range from empanadas and hot chicken to empanadas, smoothies, empanadas, and global flavors from Island Spice Grill and The Mighty Bean. Guests can also grab a cocktail at the octagon bar and relax poolside while taking in the action.
For thrill-seekers, the Adrenaline Zone will host the Instaramp NY Skateboarding Competition, featuring top skaters competing for cash prizes, sponsored by Puffco. In the Fun Zone, attendees can join games, trivia challenges, and even a forest treasure hunt across the sprawling 15-acre property.
Wellness experiences will also be incorporated, making Unity Fest a well-rounded event designed to appeal to all interests.
The first 200 attendees through the door will receive a complimentary handmade glass pipe courtesy of Planet Nugg -- a $20 value. General admission tickets are $25, while VIP tickets are available for $100, which include a swag bag worth more than twice the price of admission. Parking is $10, though ridesharing and carpooling are encouraged due to limited availability.
All attendees must be 21 or older with a valid ID. As this is a private cultural event, no cannabis sales or distribution will occur onsite. Consumption is permitted only within the guidelines of New York State law and with respect to property owner permissions.
Unity Fest represents the intersection of music, culture, food, and cannabis in New York. It is more than just an end-of-summer party -- it's a celebration of community and a sign of how cannabis culture is increasingly woven into the fabric of mainstream events. With support from local businesses, major cannabis brands, and cultural organizations, Unity Fest is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about gatherings on Long Island.
