Joey Badass at On the Revel Cannabis Festival
On the Revel made history with its first outdoor, open-air cannabis festival, attracting over 180 vendors and thousands of attendees. Hosted in New York City, this landmark event celebrated the booming cannabis industry with a vibrant mix of business, culture, and music. Vendors ranged from local growers and dispensaries to wellness brands and legal advisors, offering attendees an immersive experience that captured the growth of New York’s cannabis community.
The Power Behind On the Revel
Founded by Lulu Tsui and Jacobi Holland, On the Revel was born from a desire to create a more inclusive cannabis industry. “When we first met in 2015, there were few professionals of color in the legal space,” Tsui explained. Determined to build something different, their events reflect New York’s dynamic, diverse energy. Now, after years of work, Revelry 2024 marks a significant achievement, bringing together New York’s cannabis players and offering business opportunities in a historically exclusive market.

Groundbreaking Diversity and Social Equity
What sets Revelry apart is its commitment to diversity and social equity. New York’s cannabis legislation prioritizes justice-impacted individuals and social equity applicants for licenses, making Revelry 2024 a pivotal moment. “It took eight years, but seeing business, sales, and consumption happening openly in a state with harsh past penalties is monumental,” Tsui shared. With a team entirely made up of people of color, Revelry events are some of the most inclusive in the U.S. cannabis scene.
Looking Ahead: A Growing Ecosystem
The cannabis industry’s future in NYC is dynamic, with potential for crossover with other sectors like music, fashion, and art. “New Yorkers have always shaped global culture, and cannabis is no different,” Tsui noted. With plans to expand into psychedelics next year, On the Revel is at the forefront of this cultural revolution, ensuring New York remains the epicenter.
