Brooklyn's counterculture set has an August date to circle. The Other Magazine's Summer Extravaganja 2026 lands at The Chocolate Factory on Thursday, August 13 from 7 to 10pm, throwing an issue-release party for the magazine's incoming Summer 2026 edition — and packing the night with the kind of cannabis-forward programming that makes The Other's events a scene.
What it is
The Summer Extravaganja is The Other's official celebration of its Summer 2026 issue, billed as New York's #1 counterculture lifestyle magazine. It's a high-summer mix of live music and performance, DJs, and surprise moments, layered with the experiential touches the magazine is known for: dab bars, a light-bath photobooth, and interactive brand activations, plus cannabis-industry education and networking for the people building New York's legal scene.
In other words, it's part party, part launch event, part industry mixer — a chance to celebrate the season, see what the new issue holds, and connect with operators, creators, and fellow enthusiasts.

Why it's worth the trip
New York's legal cannabis culture is at its best when it gets social, and issue-release parties like this are where the community actually comes together — away from the dispensary counter and into a room full of music, art, and conversation. The Chocolate Factory is a well-known Brooklyn venue, and an East Williamsburg/Bushwick location puts it within easy reach of the borough's dense cannabis scene; if you're making a night of it, our guide to the best Brooklyn dispensaries is a handy companion. Whether you're in the industry or just along for the vibes, the Summer Extravaganja is a fitting way to mark the height of summer.
