Dance music festival Splash House has joined forces with Green Dragon, a farm-to-table model cannabis dispensary located in Palm Springs, to make a $10,000 donation to the Palm Springs Air Museum. The funds will go to the museum's Youth Education Program, which offers museum tours to young students at or below the regional poverty level.
Green Dragon is the exclusive cannabis partner for Splash House's 2021 festival, which runs through Aug. 22. This is Splash House's first partnership with a local cannabis retail operator. At the festival, Green Dragon will provide on- and offsite cannabis experiences for Splash House ticket holders; part of the event takes place at the museum. The event will also include a cannabis consumption lounge, branded merchandise, interactive features and a variety of Green Dragon products. In addition, guests will have the opportunity to place Green Dragon orders for pickup via the Splash House mobile app with special promotional offers.
"As a Palm Springs native, I'm so proud and excited for Green Dragon and Splash House to announce this donation to the Palm Springs Air Museum, which serves as both a staple to our community and as an incredible venue for Splash House's after hours shows," said Troy Solomon, Green Dragon's general manager. "Our partnership with Splash House has allowed the validity of the cannabis business to be recognized within mainstream entertainment, and we're excited for another amazing weekend at Splash House."
Based in North Hollywood, and available in 150 stores across California, Green Dragon is committed to partnering with people and projects that provide meaning to both the community and culture surrounding them.
