A fusion of culture, cannabis education, and community

On December 20, 2025, Canna Body Designs presented HOLIDAZE, An Immersive Pop-Up Experience at The Bookstore Gallery in Atlanta’s Historic Edgewood/Old Fourth Ward. Powered by BlaqueBook Management Group and Founder Renee M. Palmer, the education-first, culture-centered event brought together medical professionals, cannabis advocates, legislators, creatives, and lifestyle leaders.

Palmer moderated “The Doctor Is In” Brunch & Learn panel, focusing on health, wellness, and medicinal alternatives. Attendees enjoyed an infused culinary experience curated by Chef Mark Phillips of Southern Temptation, elevating the event’s sensory and cultural atmosphere.

During Happy “Daze” Hour, sponsored by Zagga—a zero-alcohol, Delta-8 infused brand by Goodie Mob’s Big Gipp—guests networked over elevated mocktails. Canna Body Designs’ cannabis-inspired apparel and accessories sold out nearly completely as attendees checked off their Christmas lists.

The evening concluded with the Canna After Dark Roundtable, where panelists discussed socioeconomic impact, revenue opportunities, culture, and community engagement. Media presence was strong throughout with active coverage across platforms.
