January Is a Big Month for Missouri Cannabis Events
January is already shaping up to be a big month for Missouri’s cannabis and hemp community — and we’re only a short way into it.
Even with one full week already behind us, there are still 232 events scheduled for the remainder of January on this calendar alone.
The Missouri Cannabis Events Calendar is currently sitting at 502 total events, which gives a pretty clear picture of just how active the community is statewide.

Highlighted January Events
With hundreds of listings, it’s impossible to cover everything — but these ten events help show the range of experiences happening across the state this month.
Woodburning – Puff and Paint with Amy
A hands-on woodburning workshop focused on creativity and skill-building in a relaxed environment.
Events like this often draw a mix of beginners and returning attendees — and they’re a great example of how
cannabis-friendly gatherings frequently overlap with local art and maker communities.
Ganja Game Night
Game nights are a favorite because they’re low-pressure and social. This one is centered on games, conversation,
and community — an approachable option for both regulars and people attending their first cannabis-friendly event.
Break & Bake: Pool League
A pool league with a laid-back vibe and a competitive-but-friendly feel. Recurring league-style nights like this help
build consistent local communities and turn venues into regular gathering spaces rather than one-off stops.
JB’s Live: Eic and Erica French
Live music remains a major draw throughout Missouri, especially in smaller cities. This event highlights how
cannabis-friendly venues often support local musicians while offering an intimate, community-focused experience.
Best Medicine Dinner and Comedy Night
A structured dinner-and-show style night that blends food, comedy, and conversation in a relaxed lounge setting.
These curated evenings are great for anyone who prefers an intentional “plan-the-night” experience rather than a drop-in meetup.
OTIS
A live entertainment listing at an outdoor-friendly venue. Events like this highlight the natural overlap between music,
community, and cannabis-friendly spaces — often drawing a wide range of attendees and supporting local or touring performers.
Budz & Bingo
Bingo nights stay popular because they’re interactive, familiar, and welcoming. This is a simple way to participate,
socialize, and enjoy a structured activity without any prior experience.
Sticky’s Glowy Hole (Blacklight Cornhole)
A blacklight twist on classic cornhole. Interactive game nights like this encourage movement, teamwork, and conversation
while keeping the vibe light and fun — perfect for people who want an activity built into the social time.
Collage-A-Bong Workshop
A creative workshop focused on customizing a piece, blending art with cannabis culture in a hands-on format.
These events are popular with attendees who want a memorable experience and something tangible to take home.
B.O.N.G. — Business Owners Networking Group
A networking-focused meetup for business owners and professionals in the cannabis and hemp space, with an emphasis on
collaboration and conversation rather than sales.
If the weather cooperates, I plan to attend this one personally.
How the Events Calendar Works
The Missouri Cannabis Events Calendar is a community-powered resource. While I do spend time regularly searching for and adding events myself,
many listings come directly from:
- Event hosts
- Venues
- Promoters
- Community members
This user-submitted approach helps keep the calendar more accurate and more representative of what’s actually happening statewide.

New Service for Venues & Recurring Hosts
As the calendar continues to grow, I’m also introducing a new paid service option for venues, lounges, and recurring event hosts who want additional support.
This service is designed for those who would like:
- Their website or social pages checked on a regular basis
- Events identified and added consistently
- Less risk of events being missed due to volume
• Listing your own events by submitting them is still 100% free.
• This paid option is for hosts who want ongoing monitoring and hands-off listing support.
