The name of this event, CENTRAL VALLEY CANNABIS CUP, seems to be the first time it has been used.
( U D A T E - THIS EVENT DID INDEED TAKE PLACE )
Whether that name will morph into something else multiple times is always possible with High Times, whose initially announced events often change much from initial toutings, even to the point of not occurring at all.
This event first appeared on High Times' Cannabis Cup website during the week of February 27, 2019. What appears to be the inaugrial staging of this particular event, it is scheduled to happen this year during the ultimate partier's holiday (420) on April 20-21 in Sacramento California.
In addition to CENTRAL VALLEY CANNABIS CUP, another Cannabis Cup event was added to the High Times event schedule during the week of February 27, 2019 - Michigan Cannabis Cup - bringing the current total number of planned events to 4.
According to public documents, High Times makes most of its money via these events. And since High Times is in a bit of a financial pickle currently, expect more event announcements to pop up.
High Times has a propensity for canceling events after they've been announced.
But since CENTRAL VALLEY CANNABIS CUP occurs on the special day of 4/20, local authorities will probably be more lax than usual and let the Cup happen.
