And yes, obviously Oregon has a summer festival about it. It’s the third annual Oregon Hempfest, a three-day festival taking place Friday through Sunday, June 23 to 25, in Roseburg (383 Brumbach Rd). Though it might seem like it, Hempfest is not a weed-smoking free-for-all. According to the event’s website, “The Oregon Hempfest will enforce and respect the guidelines in Measure 91, and we only support the LEGAL aspects of marijuana in the state of Oregon.” This includes no recreational cannabis for sale at the festival. The fest offers more than 20 musical acts and more than 100 vendors, classes, guest speakers and camping.
