The Vision

New York's Cannabis Community on the Course

A day for New York's cannabis insiders to convene, connect, and celebrate the season.

The Harvest Cup is a gathering for the people who make New York's cannabis industry run — the budtenders, buyers, growers, and brand teams who work the counters, stock the shelves, and cultivate the product day in and day out.

This is a day to set down the work and enjoy a round of golf, a game of cornhole, a meal from The Grove, and a chance to meet some of our favorite growers from around the Hudson Valley. We're inviting select growers to exhibit and showcase flower from this year's harvest.

The Region

Hudson Valley

Set in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Red Hook sits at the crossroads of New York's cannabis country. Minutes from the Taconic State Parkway and the Hudson River, it's an easy drive from Albany, the Capital Region, New York City, and everywhere in between.

Early autumn in the Valley means crisp air, golden foliage, and peak harvest season — the perfect backdrop for a day on the course.

The Headliner

The Bennett Brothers

Live music all day at the Harvest Cup.

The Bennett Brothers

The Bennett Brothers are an acoustic duo from Upstate New York — brothers Owen and Liam Bennett — bringing feel-good classic rock, country, and blues to the Harvest Cup lunch hour.

Their laid-back acoustic sound pairs perfectly with a sunny afternoon on the course, delivering soulful harmonies and crowd-pleasing favorites in an easygoing, conversation-friendly setting under the shaded tent.

Based in the Saratoga Springs area, Owen and Liam have been playing together for years at venues across New York. Their music is all about good vibes, warm harmonies, and connecting with the crowd.

Set time: 12:30 – 2:00 PM during lunch
Location: Shaded tent near The Grove
