In 2022, Matt and Steve co-founded Terp Basel, a groundbreaking 3-day festival in Miami that spotlighted California’s legacy cannabis brands and New York’s social clubs.

The festival garnered significant media attention from Leafly, High Times and other industry outlets. BAKED! was later formed along with Brian bringing the trio together. Building on this success, Terp Basel’s second year was even more impressive, featuring an expanded lineup and new interactive experiences and educational sessions, solidifying its reputation as a premier cannabis cultural event. Terp Basel’s third year is right around the corner, December 6th through 8th at Skatebird Miami, which features a dynamic lineup of live performances, exclusive brand activations and mesmerizing art along with exhibits including a fashion show, interactive art, glass blowing and a rolling competition.
