Cannabis Liberation Day
The biggest cannabis and hemp event in The Netherlands.
June 12th 2016
The 8th Cannabis Liberation Day will take place on June 12th 2016, 2pm till 10pm.
The event is free. On Cannabis Liberation Day we celebrate the international cannabis culture and show how much good this plant has to offer. Cannabis Liberation Day calls for tolerance and widespread use of hemp as durable resource and challenges the criminalization of the plant, the cannabis consumers, coffeeshops and cultivators.
FLEVOPARK
Cannabis Liberation Day will again be held at Flevopark, the greenest park of Amsterdam. The park is
easily accessible by public transportation and
parking your car is free at the adjacent Science Park. Please treat the park with respect, use the bins and toilets and stay on the grass and pathways.

In addition to the stage program with
artists, speakers and DJs from home and abroad there is a big Hemp Market, a Cannabis Film Festival in Europe’s biggest ger (Mongolian nomadic tent), a reggae and dub area with sound systems, a Vape Lounge and a mouth watering food and drinks area.

HISTORY

Global Marijuana March. Because there were none of these activities in Holland, in 2009
VOC decided to organise Cannabis Liberation Day.
