01Beginnings
Cup Fest is a cannabis competition in Montana. The one page we have describes it as the biggest and longest-running contest of its kind in the state1.
That is the listing's own description, so treat it as a claim rather than a checked record. The sources do not say who started it, where the first one was held, or what year it began.
02The story so far
The listing says the event is in its 9th year1. Beyond that count, the sources do not say how the contest grew, how it changed, or who ran it along the way.
The listing names no separate organiser, no winners and no strains1. So the stories of past champions are missing from this page for now.
03Culture and how it works
According to the listing, people who attend can take part in two ways. They can judge, helping to choose the best strains and products, or they can enter their own creations1.
The sources do not say how judging is scored, what categories exist, or what the entry rules are.
04Where it stands now
Cup Fest is now part of the Montana State Hemp & Cannabis Festival1. The 2025 edition is listed at Lolo Hot Springs Resort in Lolo, Montana1.
The listing gives dates that do not line up. It puts Cup Fest on 14 to 15 September 2025, but says the wider festival runs 12 to 14 September1. Our source is a summary of the page, so check the exact dates with the organisers. The sources do not give results for the 2025 edition.
05What comes next
The sources say nothing about plans for later years, a 2026 date, or any change of venue.
