The event is exclusively for individuals 18 and over. Tickets start at $45 with timed entry available Wednesdays to Sundays from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Snag your tickets before September 15th for 10 percent off with the code STONEAGE10.

The Stone Age Experience, a woman and minority-owned business, was conceived by Sasha Perelman and Elizabeth Santana, who have produced hundreds of events for premier global brands in cannabis, beauty, wellness, technology, and consumer goods.
Perelman, a producer and thought leader, had her premiere cannabis event, Immersion, dubbed "the best pot party in California by Rolling Stone. Santana, a creative and operations guru, was heavily involved in the conceptualization and execution of Rosé Mansion, a popular interactive wine tasting pop-up located in New York City.
“There’s a beautiful cultural shift happening surrounding cannabis wellness, and the need to empower and educate consumers is more important than ever. Bringing this truly unprecedented experience to New York City is not only a dream, it’s an honor,” said Sasha Perelman, Co-Founder of The Stone Age Experience.
“To build on the momentum happening we are creating inspiring designs for visitors to physically walk through and learn about the wellness benefits and connections to the cannabis plant, to better understand its healing powers.”
Utilizing 9,000-square-feet, The Stone Age features eight thought-provoking installations designed to take visitors on a cannabis-inspired journey.
The Stone Age provides a platform for consumers to understand the role of cannabis as a lifestyle tool through a combination of tactile environments and thought-provoking activations.
Through their partnership with The Last Prisoner Project (LLP), a coalition dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry, The Stone Age will feature thoughtful call-to-action integrations to promote visibility on social justice reform and community engagement.
As the United States moves away from the criminalization of cannabis, giving rise to a major new industry, there remains the fundamental injustice inflicted upon those who have suffered criminal convictions and the consequences of those convictions.
Through intervention, advocacy, and awareness campaigns, the forces behind LLP will work to redress the past and continuing harms of these unjust laws and policies. The organization is dedicated to making sure that every last victimless cannabis prisoner walks free.
“This year, New York legalized adult-use cannabis and we couldn’t think of a market that is more eager for cannabis-inspired happenings than New York City,” said Elizabeth Santana, Co-Founder of The Stone Age Experience.
“Introducing a captivating and one-of-a-kind event like The Stone Age to the city this fall feels like the perfect moment to make a strong and lasting impact.”
The Stone Age will make its run in Manhattan for a limited time only. To learn more about The Stone Age and purchase tickets visit thestoneagenyc.com.
