On May 30th, Zalympix 2026 will takeover Los Angeles for what is shaping up to be one of the biggest editions of the event to date. Presented by Miron, Rare Candy Supply, and My Butler AL, the 2026 event brings together a stacked flower competition, a major concert lineup headlined by E-40 and Shoreline Mafia, and one of the deepest collections of top-tier California cannabis brands you’ll see all year.
The California cannabis event calendar is packed every year, but only a handful of experiences actually feel like they’re for the culture. Some shows lean corporate. Others feel like oversized smoke sessions with no structure. Then there are events like Zalympix, where the music, the brands, and the people all collide in a way that actually reflects what California cannabis has looked and felt like over the last decade.
Doors open at 2PM and the event runs through midnight in Los Angeles. Tickets are available through Zalympix.
The music lineup alone gives the event major weight.
Zalympix 2026 Featuring E-40 and Shoreline Mafia
E-40 performing at a cannabis event in California feels right because his influence on West Coast culture has always extended far beyond music. From slang and entrepreneurship to independent hustle and Bay Area identity, Forty Water helped shape the DNA of modern West Coast hip hop. His catalog crosses generations, and his presence at Zalympix immediately elevates the event beyond a standard cannabis festival.
Then you add Shoreline Mafia to the mix.
For Los Angeles crowds, Shoreline’s catalog represents an era. Records like “Bands” and “Musty” became part of Southern California party culture, car culture, and street culture almost instantly when they dropped. Putting Shoreline Mafia on a hometown stage at an event already fueled by weed culture and competition energy feels like a guaranteed moment.
The event also includes performances and appearances from Yukmouth, the legendary Luniz member behind “I Got 5 On It,” alongside rising Indianapolis artist Truski. Yukmouth will also host a meet and greet inside the My Butler AL Lounge during the event. DJ duties throughout the day will be handled by Compton Buyers Club, which means the energy between sets should stay active the entire day.
But the real backbone of Zalympix has always been the flower competition itself.
Unlike some events where brands simply pay for booth space and hand out samples, Zalympix has built its identity around competition. Cultivators are showing up to be judged. Consumers are showing up to compare products. Brands are showing up to prove they belong in the conversation.
The 2026 competitor field is loaded with respected California operators, legacy names, and some of the most talked-about cultivators in the state right now.
This year’s lineup includes:
Alien Labs, Angel City Farmers, B Eazy, Big Boy Dro, Blueprint, Bosky Genetics, Cali Creamery, Connected, Dank Mob, Decibel Gardens, Diamond Fire, Don Merfos, Essential Torrance, Faven, Finest Farms, Greendawg, High Mart, Jungle Boys, LA Family Farms, LAX Packs, Lyfe Sauce, Major League Exotics, Maven, Miami Mango, Nameless, O Caçapo, Poundcakes Farm, Preferred Gardens, Rare Candy Supply, Seed Junky, Surreal Yields, Up The Hill, Wizard Trees, Woodwide, and Yacht Club.
That’s an incredibly serious field.
Seeing brands like Alien Labs, Connected, Jungle Boys, and Wizard Trees all competing in the same environment creates the kind of direct comparison cannabis consumers actually want.
At the same time, operators like Don Merfos, B Eazy, Greendawg, and Maven continue proving that newer-school cultivation brands can absolutely stand alongside the most established names in the state
Ball Family Farms is also featured on the sponsor side of the event. Founded by former professional football player Chris Ball, Ball Family Farms has built one of the most respected Black-owned flower brands in California through years of consistency, quality, and culture-first branding.
The media partnerships also say a lot about the direction of the event.
Black Cannabis Magazine and Beard Bros Pharms are both official media sponsors for the 2026 edition.
The broader sponsor grid helps paint an even clearer picture of where California cannabis culture sits in 2026. Brands like Zushi, 818 Brands, Burning Bush, Bomb Popz, Cannabis Brothers, Foreign Genetics, Gas Up Society, Grandiflora, High Tolerance, Sluggers Hit, The Classic OG, Umami Seed Co, Watson Supply, Zig-Zag, and several others are all attached to the event this year.
Taken together, the competitor lineup, sponsor list, music curation, and media involvement make Zalympix feel less like a traditional cannabis trade show and more like a reflection of California cannabis culture itself.
That’s ultimately why the event continues to stand out. This isn’t for the corporate folks.
The best cannabis events don’t just sell tickets. They create moments where music, weed, art, entrepreneurship, and community actually feel connected instead of forced together for marketing purposes.
Zalympix has managed to build that atmosphere consistently, and the 2026 Los Angeles edition looks like the biggest version of that vision yet. For anyone serious about California cannabis culture, May 30th in Los Angeles is going to be hard to ignore.
