The Guadalupe city council voted Tuesday to reject a proposal for a large-scale music and cannabis festival at Jack O’Connell Park. Some council members raised concerns about excessive cannabis use, traffic, noise and neighborhood impacts.
Local cannabis operator SLO CAL Roots proposed the Guadalupe Greens Festival as a two-day event featuring live music, food vendors, a classic car show, and a regulated cannabis village for adults 21 and older.
Founder Austen Connella estimated the event could increase tourism drawing up to 10,000 attendees per day, while creating up to 250 temporary jobs.
