The 2nd Annual Kingston Crown is officially a wrap, and what a day it was!
This year’s 420 event at Domes Dispensary brought together the Kingston community in the best way possible. With perfect weather, an incredible turnout, and nonstop energy from start to finish, it’s safe to say this event continues to solidify Domes as the go-to Kingston dispensary for more than great cannabis and even better community.
Saturday’s event welcomed over 350 attendees, with even more guests flowing through the store throughout the day. From the moment things kicked off, the vibe was strong. Live music, local vendors, and a packed lineup of activities kept the good times going all afternoon.
Celebrating the Best of the Best
At the heart of Kingston Crown is the competition, where top brands go head-to-head and you help decide the winners! Each judging kit included samples of some of the best entries across flower, pre-rolls, and daytime gummies. This year’s lineup did not disappoint:
- Best Sativa Flower: Blue Dream by Alchemy Pure
- Best Indica Flower: Blue Nerds by Skyrose Farm
- Best Sativa Preroll: Sour Diesel by Harney Brothers
- Best Indica Preroll: Trop GMO by Supernaturals
- Best Daytime Gummy: Kiwi by Wyld
These standout cannabis products earned their crowns through community participation, making the wins even more meaningful. Events like this continue to highlight what makes the cannabis space so exciting right now: quality and connection.
More Than Just Cannabis
Kingston Crown is about creating an experience. And this year, we delivered!
One of the biggest hits of the day? The tattoo station, which had a line of customers for the entire four hours of the event. From tattoos by talented artists of Ink Incorporated Tattooing, to a line dancing session led by Catskill Line that got everyone moving, there was something happening at every moment of the day.
The all-day craft market gave attendees a chance to shop local and discover some incredible makers, including Cute With Clogs for thrifting finds, Makers on Main for handmade jewelry, Aroma Home for home fragrances, and local artists Colleen McWaters and Cole Armstrong.
Guests enjoyed live jazz from William “Prez” Bush, adding the perfect soundtrack to the afternoon.
And of course, the food did not miss. Crowd favorites included the Smash Burger and Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos from Hudson Valley Food Dude, keeping attendees fueled while they explored everything the event had to offer.
Guests also had the chance to participate in interactive games like Wheel of Fortune and fan-favorite Bud Bingo, with over 250 cannabis prizes given away throughout the day! It added an extra layer of fun and kept the crowd engaged from start to finish.
A True Community Event
What really made this 420 event special was the sense of community. Local vendors, cannabis farmers, and creators all came together to showcase their work and connect directly with attendees.
And the feedback speaks for itself. Here are just a few quotes from cannabis farmers participating in the Kingston Crown:
“It was wonderful. Especially to have live music and events throughout the day was incredible. Having local partners was great to see too.”
“This event was well managed, coordinated and made us feel welcome and appreciated by everyone involved. Truly an amazing event experience.”
“Thought it was a great time! Couldn’t stop smiling.”
That kind of response reinforces what Domes has been building, something bigger than just a dispensary.
Looking Ahead
Events like Kingston Crown are a perfect example of how Domes continues to stand out as a leading Kingston dispensary. By bringing people together, supporting local brands, and creating memorable experiences, we want to shape to what cannabis culture looks like in the Hudson Valley.
As co-founder and CEO Jennifer Dundas shared:
“Seeing peoples’ faces when they entered the space and looked up to see the majestic interior was priceless.”
Moments like that are a big part of what makes this event so special year after year.
And if this year was any indication, the Kingston Crown is only getting bigger and better.
We can’t wait to see you all next year!
