CVCAN hosted its annual Holiday Celebration—A Night of Fun & Cheer—on December 17th at the historic Mary Pickford Estate in Desert Hot Springs. The evening brought together our community for a festive night of camaraderie, connection, and holiday spirit—while also supporting a cause close to our hearts through our CVCAN Canned Food Drive to help fight
food insecurity in the Coachella Valley.

Guests included a wide cross-section of the cannabis community and local leadership, including industry leaders, influencers, budtenders, the canna-curious, and elected officials and staff from across the Coachella Valley. With holiday music, DJ Lino, exciting raffles, brand activations, canna cocktails, prizes, and a silent auction, the night was made even more special
by a wonderfully curated selection of festive food and desserts prepared by Miracle Springs Resort & Spa.

Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we collected several hundred pounds of canned food, proudly donated to Food Now! Every donation made a real difference—thank you for helping us give back in a meaningful way during the holiday season. Please see the Food Now Team in the picture below accepting our donation.

We also want to recognize the outstanding brand activations provided by Double Eye Dispensary & Consumption Lounge, Mammoth Distribution, Pabst Labs, and St. Ides, helping make the event interactive, memorable, and fun for all.

Events like this are only possible through community support, and we extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors:
