Harvest Festival organiser Joe Nicolson, aka Growseph Green, has revealed the festival is moving south to Gore. Council community services general manager Simon Pickford (right) and a police officer issue a trespass notice to the organisers of a cannabis festival at Woodside Glen this afternoon. 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.
