Terp Basel 2024 returned to Miami with one of its biggest years yet, transforming the city’s vibrant art week energy into a three-day celebration of cannabis, culture, and community. Held December 6–8 at Skatebird Miami, this year’s edition blended live music, art, fashion, skating, and curated cannabis experiences into a festival that felt uniquely Miami—colorful, expressive, and culturally forward.
A Cultural Hub During Miami’s Biggest Week
Terp Basel continues to grow as one of Miami’s signature cannabis-culture gatherings during Art Basel week. Rather than creating a traditional trade-show environment, organizers designed the event to feel like a cultural playground. The goal: merge the worlds of cannabis, creative arts, and lifestyle under one open-air roof.
With art fairs, galleries, fashion shows, street murals, and late-night events already filling the city in early December, Terp Basel positioned itself as the cannabis world’s creative counter-festival—a place where artists, consumers, and brands could meet, collaborate, and celebrate.
Three Nights of Music, Art, and Activations
Each night at Skatebird Miami ran from 6 PM to midnight, building a nighttime energy that suited both locals and travelers exploring the broader Basel scene. The venue’s industrial-meets-skate-park design set the tone: bold murals, neon lighting, live art demonstrations, and street-culture aesthetics shaped the atmosphere.
Music anchored the festival, with DJs and artists, including Trinidad James, creating a dynamic soundtrack throughout the weekend. The mix of hip-hop, electronic music, and bass-heavy sets kept the flow lively and encouraged guests to stay deep into the night.
Art installations and live creative performances were spread across the space, highlighting Miami’s role as a hub for visual culture. Murals, graffiti-influenced work, and interactive displays gave attendees plenty to explore between performances and brand activations.
A Marketplace Built Around Community
Terp Basel 2024 featured more than 60 cannabis and lifestyle brands from across the United States. The marketplace wasn’t designed as a typical vendor floor—instead, each activation felt curated, creative, and interactive.
Brands showcased everything from small-batch flower and exotic hash to rosin, accessories, glasswork, apparel, and THC-adjacent wellness products. For Florida attendees, many of these items were rare or out-of-state exclusives, making the event a chance to experience craft cannabis culture beyond the state’s regulated medical system.
Because the festival attracted cultivators, extractors, glass artists, streetwear designers, retailers, and enthusiasts, it became a hub for networking as much as consumption. Creatives, influencers, and industry professionals used the weekend to connect, discuss projects, and build new collaborations.
Why Terp Basel Matters for Miami and Beyond
The growing success of Terp Basel reflects the broader shift happening in cannabis culture: experiences are becoming as meaningful as products themselves. By merging cannabis with art, music, and fashion, the event highlights how deeply cannabis influences lifestyle, creativity, and community identity.
Miami, still early in its evolution as a cannabis-friendly destination, benefits heavily from events like this. They help shape the city’s emerging cannabis identity, draw national brands, and bring together consumers across cultural backgrounds.
For creators, writers, and industry players, Terp Basel provides a firsthand look at the trends shaping cannabis today: premium craft products, experiential branding, cross-state collaborations, and consumer-driven culture.
Looking Ahead
The team behind Terp Basel continues to signal long-term plans for growth, hinting at expansions in scale, partnerships, and immersive elements in future years. As legalization progresses across the U.S. and cannabis events move further into mainstream culture, Terp Basel is well-positioned to become one of the country’s standout cannabis-culture festivals.
