Outside Lands 2026: How to Get High Without Missing Your Favorite Set

Outside Lands 2026 is almost here. Whether you're planning your best brat-inspired look for Charli XCX, getting into the garage rock revival spirit of The Strokes, or embracing the dreamy indie-electronic vibes of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Embarc will help keep the good vibes rolling all weekend.

Once again, California’s favorite dispensary is back at Grass Lands. This all-green OSL experience is the spot if you want to grab some gummies or a pre-roll and catch a buzz between sets. 

Want to make the most of your Grass Lands experience? Follow these expert tips.

Give yourself plenty of time to peruse the products

If you want to make a quick stop into Grass Lands, you definitely can. But with so many brands hosting activations, giveaways, and exclusive experiences, it’s definitely worth building some time into your busy Outside Lands schedule to truly enjoy the experience. 

This year, rolling paper behemoth Zig-Zag is making a major splash in Grass Lands, so there are sure to be tons of dope swag giveaways and surprises. Other can’t-miss stops (aside from Embarc!) include Emerald Sky, Farm Stand, Tutti, Sluggers, Noble Pacific, Molli, Claybourne Co. (who’s giving away a dirt bike with Embarc!), and many, many more. The Legacy Market is also returning with a wide selection of social equity and craft brands, so be sure to check them out.

Remember that Grass Lands gets busiest later in the afternoon and before major headliners. If there's something specific you've been hoping to pick up, or you simply want to avoid longer lines, consider stopping by earlier in the day.

Combine multiple pit stops in one

With so many acts to see and a very long walk between Lands End and Twin Peaks, you want to be efficient while also enjoying everything Grass Lands has to offer. The good news is that Grass Lands has cannabis, entertainment, munchies, swag, and the all-important potties all on site. 

Check out the brands, grab a grilled cheese, enjoy a set from DJ Sep, and hit the restroom before heading back out to the wild. You’ll be amazed at how much time you saved (and how great you’ll feel!).

Hot tip: have your ID ready before getting to Grass Lands. It’ll speed things up considerably!

Finish your bevvy before you arrive

If you’re planning to make a stop at Wine Lands or Cocktail Magic prior to your visit to Grass Lands, you’ll want to finish your drink before you cross the polo fields. Grass Lands is an alcohol-free zone—no exceptions. Heading over with a full glass of IPA or chardonnay is not the play, so time your day accordingly.

Find your rhythm

Festival excitement has a way of making everything feel like a good idea—including taking one more edible. If you're trying a new product or haven't consumed in a while, start with a low dose and give it plenty of time to kick in before reaching for more. The goal is to feel great for the entire day, not miss your favorite headliner because you overdid it.

Be sure to match your products to your plan. Heading to SOMA to dance all afternoon? A low-dose beverage or gummy might be the move. Planning to relax on the hill during Djo? Maybe an OG pre-roll fits the moment. Ask the Embarc team for recommendations based on the experience you're after.

Finally, don't forget the most important festival essential besides your wristband: water. This year’s Outside Lands might be warmer than years past, and you want to make it to the finish line in good health and spirits. Having said that, it’s still SF—so bring a jacket just in case Karl the Fog rolls in at night.

However you spend your weekend in Golden Gate Park, make Grass Lands part of your itinerary. Swing by Embarc, Discover Your High, and we'll see you between sets.
