Fit & Faded Wellness Festival blends cannabis, competition, and communityMissouri’s cannabis industry has developed a growing calendar of vendor days, networking events, educational seminars, conferences, and trade shows. The inaugural Fit & Faded Wellness Festival aims to reach beyond that familiar audience by bringing cannabis businesses together with fitness providers, wellness professionals, community organizations, and consumers. “Missouri has an incredible cannabis community and an incredible fitness community, but there haven’t been many opportunities to bring those worlds together,” Shafer said. While September will mark the inaugural Fit & Faded Wellness Festival, Shafer hopes it will become an annual Missouri event and eventually expand into other markets. “I’d love to see it evolve into a premier cannabis wellness festival,” Shafer said.
