BUDSAPALOOZA 2025
We had an amazing time at Budsapalooza 2025 in Phoenix, AZ, on April 11, 2025! Hosted by the incredible team at Budsapalooza and presented by Trulieve, this celebration completely took over nine blocks of Roosevelt Row, turning it into the ultimate destination for cannabis culture, music, art, and community. With over 1,200 people pulling up, the energy was unreal — and we came ready to make an impact.
Bringing the Vibes
As a proud cannabis sponsor of Budsapalooza 2025, we knew we had to bring something special — and we delivered. Our booth quickly became one of the hottest spots on the street. We handed out exclusive STIIIZY clear tote bags packed with rolling papers, lanyards, cones, and even engraved “BUDS 2025” Lite batteries.
The real moment? 4:20 PM, when we dropped our exclusive 420 shirts and the crowd went wild. We also gave away some dope STIIIZY LA gear — think tees, hoodies, crop tops, and shorts — and seeing people rock it all over Roosevelt Row was such a vibe.
Games, Prizes, and Fun
We brought our Dab Bar to life with the blinkers of our Live Resin Liquid Diamond pods in Lemon Cherry Gelato and Purple Haze. Fans also got to try our flavorful 40’s prerolls, including Blue Burst and Blue Dream — they were flying out of our hands.
And we didn’t just stay posted up — we moved through the crowd, passing out cones and hosting mini giveaways. We asked trivia, got people talking, and handed out power cases, hats, and more. Seeing those surprise wins light up people’s faces was the best part of the day.
Big Highlights
One of the coolest things we were part of was the Stoner Flicks Theater we co-presented with Wana. We set up a chill spot where people could kick back on custom STIIIZY bean bags and watch classic stoner movies like Pineapple Express, Harold & Kumar, and Cheech and Chong. Total laid-back lounge vibes.
And the food scene? Absolutely fire. With over 35 food trucks, the options were endless — from tacos and carne fries to funnel cakes and Korean BBQ. The ice cream truck even passed out free scoops to vendors, which hit different in that 100-degree heat.
Art was everywhere — from live tattooing and airbrush caricatures to a collaborative mural that attendees helped paint. Watching the final “BUDSAPALOOZA” tag get sprayed over everyone’s names was the perfect ending to a creative, colorful day.
The live music lineup kept us dancing all night long. Acts like Tropidelic, Surfer Girl, Bikini Trill, E.N. Young, and more hit the stage while Trulieve’s rolling contest turned a simple skill into a full-on showcase. The vibe was just right.
A Day to Remember
As the sky dimmed, they dropped a giant nug and followed it with a fireworks show that lit up Phoenix — no better way to end an epic day. We were so proud to be a part of it all and to celebrate alongside this amazing community.
To everyone who came through to vibe with us, grab gear, play games, or just say what’s up — thank you. Budsapalooza 2025 reminded us why we do what we do.
Until next time, stay STIIIZY. 🌿
