While we may take our weed very seriously, we also know that summer and NCF are all about fun and games. This year’s Cypher Stage presented by Stache promises to deliver laughter, music, and a little bit of friendly competition. We’ve got a whole range of dope diversions for you and your buds to check out on festival day. 

As well as freestyle showcases, the Stache Cypher Stage is hosting two canna contests this year that are sure to excite any stoner. If you’re the one at the sesh with the snacks or the mad rolling skills, we want to see you show off your pothead prowess. The Hi-ICE Cream Eating Tournament and High Roller Contest presented by Bouqes Papers are your chance to prove once and for that you have the appetite and skills to be a true cannabis aficionado. Win bragging rights and the respect of the highest achievers in the munchies/rolling arena. 

Pretty much everything is funny when you’re high. Okay, maybe not everything, but we can guarantee that the Cannabis Comedy Show is going to give you a serious case of the giggles. Written for and about stoners, this stand-up act will knock you off of your feet...or maybe that’s just the weed talking. Either way, this is a show you won’t want to miss. 

If you’re anything like us, no live music for the past year and a half has really been a major bummer. We’re bringing the hottest up-and-coming talent to you during the 1 Mic Sound Clash, a competition for the best-unsigned emcees in the DMV. A final freestyle contest will secure one of their places in NCF history forever, and serve as a reminder that music is back and better than ever. 

With more activities to be announced, the Cypher Stage is the place to be on festival day to tap into your creative energy. NCF and Stache are psyched to see who walks away a champion for the day!
