PAWTUCKET, R.I. — A large adult-only festival tied to the state’s cannabis industry is scheduled to return to Rhode Island this spring, bringing together local businesses, artists and attendees from across the region.
The Coastal Cultivator’s Classic is set to take place on May 16, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Hope Artiste Village, located at 999 Main Street in Pawtucket.
The event will include curated vendor markets, live music and an indoor art gallery showcasing work from local artists.
