When Do I Need a Marijuana Event Organizer License?

Any cannabis business owner who anticipates throwing a marijuana-related event, such as a trade show or festival, should consider seeking out an Event Organizer license. For starters, Marijuana Event Organizers will have to get approval from the venue, the municipality, and the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency. There is also a $1,000 fee when you file.

In addition to an Organizer license, you will also need to look into securing licensing for Marijuana Temporary Events if you plan on allowing people to consume or buy at a location for a limited period of time. Temporary Marijuana Event Licenses allow licensed Marijuana Retailers and Microbusinesses to serve as vendors and sell their products to adults age 21 and up. Temporary Event licensees may also have designated areas for the consumption of marijuana and marijuana-infused products.
