Denver, CO – November 2025 – Colorado’s cannabis retailers and brands are finally coming together again with purpose and intention. On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, from 6 PM to 10 PM, the Buds and Buyers Bash makes its highly anticipated debut at the beautifully designed Cirrus Social Club in Denver. Presented by Happy Cabbage and GreenLists, this evening marks a revival of one of Colorado’s most important traditions in cannabis: bringing brands and buyers together to make deals happen, build partnerships, and celebrate excellence.
It’s been nearly four years since Colorado hosted a true buyers event, a dedicated space for meaningful business relationships and deal making. The Buds and Buyers Bash is a great way for operators in a mature market like Colorado to get a lot done in one place, while learning and trying out new products they don’t know about yet.
A Thoughtful Lineup of Industry Leaders
This year’s Bash is powered by a curated roster of sponsors that define Colorado’s cannabis landscape, each contributing their own craft, innovation, and credibility to the evening.
PAX leads the evening as the presenting sponsor, hosting the Faces of Cannabis experience with Fat Nugs Magazine, a traveling portrait project that captures the authenticity and artistry of the people behind the plant.
Supporting sponsors include:
- Schedule 1 – Refined Colorado brand cultivating care and purpose.
- Wana Brands – A globally recognized leader in edibles, returning to its home state to celebrate the spirit of innovation.
- Keef Brands – Masters of the cannabis beverage category with deep Colorado roots.
- Juicy Concentrates – Pioneers in the art of extraction, known for their purity and terpene expression.
- O.pen – The Denver-based brand that redefined the vape experience with simplicity and style.
- Good Chemistry – A name synonymous with compassion, consistency, and commitment to community.
- Bonsai Cultivation – Boutique flower cultivated for those who value quality above all.
Together, these sponsors represent the past, present, and future of the Colorado cannabis industry. They are a collective of legacy names and innovators committed to progress through collaboration and shared values.
Hosted by the Innovators: Happy Cabbage and GreenLists
The event is co-hosted by Happy Cabbage, which helps retail buyers get the job done quickly with data-driven menu planning, ordering, and inventory budgeting through their platform Happy Buyers, and GreenLists, the dynamic marketplace platform connecting cannabis brands and retailers through modern tools built for transparency and growth.
“Our goal was to bring something intentional back to Colorado,” said Danny Gold of Happy Cabbage. “An evening where the industry could step away from the noise and focus on what really drives success: relationships, shared vision, and genuine conversation.”
Faces of Cannabis x PAX x Fat Nugs Magazine
Adding an artistic layer to the night, Fat Nugs Magazine will once again partner with PAX to bring the Faces of Cannabis series to Denver. Guests will have the opportunity to be photographed as part of this globally recognized portrait project that celebrates the diversity, passion, and humanity of the cannabis industry. The portraits, presented in Fat Nugs’ signature black and white style, have become a visual archive of the people shaping the modern cannabis movement.
An Elevated Evening for Colorado’s Cannabis Professionals
The Buds and Buyers Bash is designed as an evening of elevated deal-making: elegant yet relaxed, professional yet personal. Attendees can expect an intimate environment filled with thoughtful conversation, product showcases, and opportunities to connect directly with brand leaders and retail buyers and try their products.
Held at the modern and inviting Cirrus Social Club, guests will enjoy curated cocktails, refined ambiance, and the kind of energy that only happens when the right people gather with purpose.
