Mary Jane Berlin: The Largest Cannabis Festival in Europe Where Business, Culture, and Fun Meet

Every June, an event takes place in Berlin that draws tens of thousands of people from across Europe—and rightfully so. Mary Jane Berlin isn’t just a regular expo; it’s a full-blown cannabis festival. It’s where science, art, business, and subculture collide. Whether you’re interested in cannabis as an entrepreneur, consumer, or cultural enthusiast, this is one event you don't want to miss.

How It All Began: A Short History of Mary Jane Berlin

Mary Jane Berlin launched in 2016 as a relatively small but ambitious event. Its goal was to create a platform where the cannabis industry could connect with the public, share innovations, discuss legislation, and celebrate cannabis culture.

The first edition attracted around 8,000 visitors and 80 exhibitors, including CBD brands, grow tech companies, cannabis cosmetics, and lifestyle brands.

Since then, the event has exploded in size. By 2024, media reported over 40,000 attendees and 400+ exhibitors from around the world. Mary Jane Berlin has rightfully earned the title of Europe’s largest cannabis trade show, even surpassing the legendary Spannabis in Spain.
