MARY Fest Brings Cannabis Culture To Brooklyn

MARY Fest brought New York’s cannabis, wellness, food, fashion and lifestyle communities to 99 Scott in Brooklyn for a vendor-filled event built around discovery, education, music and connection.

Created by the team behind MARY Magazine, MARY Fest brought brands face-to-face with attendees in a marketplace setting that reflected the expanding shape of New York cannabis culture. The event was not limited to cannabis products alone. Across the indoor and outdoor spaces at 99 Scott, vendors presented wellness goods, food, skincare, glasswork, fashion, custom apparel, music and panel programming.

The day had the feel of a Brooklyn market built around a growing industry: polished cannabis brands next to local food vendors, wellness companies, makers and independent creatives. Booths were busy with product displays, conversations, samples, QR-code signs and teams introducing attendees to their work.

Cannabis Brands and Wellness Vendors

Jaunty brought one of the strongest booth moments of the day, with a team portrait full of color, product placement and energy. The display mixed branded packages, flowers, glass pieces, signs and promotional materials, giving the booth a polished but approachable look.

MFNY also stood out with clean cannabis displays, tinctures, product packaging and its recognizable green-and-rainbow branding. Old Pal kept its setup relaxed and direct, with olive-green branding, rolling trays, product cards and representatives standing behind a table built around the company’s cannabis lifestyle identity.

The wellness side of the event was just as visible. Foy presented functional edibles and tea service, with product cards for “ClearMind,” “Good Mood” and “Sleep/Nighttime.” Terp&Twist displayed plant-derived terpene inhalants and healing balm from a bright outdoor booth. TotemNRG showed rows of nootropic-style product containers, while TERRA-TORY brought skincare and body-care products into the mix with shelves of jars, bottles and boxed soaps.

Food, Dessert and Local Flavor

Food gave the event some of its strongest visual moments. Shmackwich served chopped cheese sandwiches from an outdoor table lined with red-check paper trays, bringing a New York food staple into the middle of the cannabis and lifestyle marketplace.

A Brooklyn Snapshot of New York Cannabis Culture

MARY Fest worked because it showed cannabis culture as more than a product category. The event connected cannabis brands with food, wellness, skincare, fashion, glass art, music and independent vendors. That mix gave the day a broader cultural shape and showed how New York’s cannabis scene is becoming part of everyday lifestyle spaces.

For A Fixed Moment, the event offered a strong visual record of the people behind the booths: vendors smiling with their teams, preparing food, holding up products, answering questions and building community around a still-developing industry. MARY Fest gave Brooklyn a clear snapshot of where New York cannabis culture is right now — local, branded, social, collaborative and still evolving.
