Whether you’re going all three days or just catching your favorite artists, New Dia can help you set the tone. Swing by before the show and stock up on discreet vape pens, energizing flower strains, or calming edibles to elevate your festival flow.

Pro tip: Pre-rolls like Maui Waui are great for sharing with friends before hopping on the Red Line, and Strawberry Lemonade vapes are perfect for a mellow mood while you dance in the crowd.
