Alberta now allowing cannabis sales at events with minors
Cannabis sales are now allowed at festivals and concerts in Alberta, even where minors are permitted.
Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) says it was recently directed by the Alberta government to expand the ability for retailers to conduct cannabis sales at such public events.
Alberta was the first province to permit such sales at 18+ events, but this new policy applies to events for all ages.
It was in 2023 when the Government of Alberta made changes to legislation to allow for cannabis retailers to operate temporary sales locations at adult-only events like trade shows and festivals.
