Pool Party 2026
July 23, 2026
As part of our 10-Year anniversary celebration, CVCAN welcomed members, supporters, and friends of the Movement to our Annual Pool Party on July 23, 2026, at the beautiful Desert Hot Springs Inn. The evening perfectly reflected what CVCAN is all about—building community, creating meaningful connections, and strengthening collaboration throughout the Coachella Valley cannabis industry.
Guests enjoyed a relaxed summer atmosphere filled with great conversations, exceptional networking opportunities, delicious food, music, and plenty of fun.
One of the highlights of the evening was the incredible support from our sponsor partners, whose pop-ups gave attendees the opportunity to discover new brands, products, and services while connecting directly with industry leaders.
A special thank you goes to Double Eye Dispensary & Lounge, Jeeter, Pabst Labs/St. Ides, Presidential, Heavy Hitters, Soma Farms, and Ganja Mingle for helping make the event such a success!
We were also fortunate to have Sherri Mack, RN, BSN—Chair of CVCAN’s Health & Wellness Committee and Co-Founder of Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse—recording interviews with sponsors and attendees for an episode of The Green Nurse Podcast. The episode showcases the incredible people and businesses that make our cannabis community so special. We encourage everyone to watch it (https://youtu.be/kYAQyIhYjMA) and relive the evening’s energy. Happy Birthday, Sherri, and thank you for everything you do for CVCAN and our community!
Our sincere appreciation also goes to Desert Fire Tacos for serving an outstanding taco bar, and to Benji Kayne, whose peaceful sunset Sound Bath provided the perfect ending to a memorable evening.
A heartfelt thank you to Tracy, John, and Jose at the Desert Hot Springs Inn for hosting CVCAN. Their welcoming hospitality and beautiful 420-friendly boutique property created the ideal setting for an unforgettable summer gathering.
Finally, we would like to recognize the many sponsors and partners whose generous support and raffle donations help make events like this possible:

We look forward to seeing you at our next gathering as we continue celebrating ten years of advocacy, education, networking, and community throughout the Coachella Valley.
