Harvest Festival organiser Joe Nicolson, aka Growseph Green, has revealed the festival is moving south to Gore. But in a video posted to social media this morning from the Harvest Festival's new site in a misty paddock north-west of Gore, organiser Joe Nicolson was relatively upbeat. However, a number of other comments on Facebook voiced continued support for the cannabis celebration festival. The Harvest Festival was set to start on Saturday on council reserve land, to coincide with 4/20 (April 20), a worldwide day of cannabis celebration. Mr Nicolson said the cannabis and hemp festival was a more professional alternative to the J Day cannabis smoking protest in the Octagon in previous years.
