Richmond US
The Lucky Leaf Expo comes to Richmond, Virginia on August 28 and 29, 2026, concluding the summer trilogy in Dallas, Philadelphia, and Richmond. Virginia has legalized private cannabis possession but does not yet have a fully functioning commercial adult-use market. The trade show is thus an important hub for political dialogue and preparation of potential market participants.
The two-day program includes a pre-show crash course on August 27, classic expo booths with regional and national vendors, and expert presentations. Topics include the status of legislation, medical-to-adult-use transitions, the social equity program, and handling of hemp derivatives such as Delta-8. Richmond, as Virginia's capital, is also home to important decision-makers and thus a symbolic venue for the event.
For German visitors who want to observe a U.S. market in development, Lucky Leaf Richmond offers an exciting contrast to established trade shows. Here you can see how industry and politics work in parallel to shape a new market. Virginia is also conveniently located between Washington D.C. and the southern United States. Status: April 2026.
