It's 4/20, and we'd rather be STONED.
There’s something about 4/20 landing where it does this year that feels… easy. Like the energy showed up early and now the actual day just gets to coast. No pressure to make it huge. No expectation to do the most. Just a handful of good options and the space to follow whatever mood you’re in.If you do want to step out, there are a few things worth knowing about. A mix of bigger moments and smaller ones that feel a little more tucked away.
4/20 In New York
NYC Cannabis Parade & Rally
Part protest, part celebration. A long-standing tradition that moves through the city and lands in a full rally. It’s loud, layered, and still rooted in something real.
Gotham x Sofar Sounds 420 Event
A softer counterpoint. Live music, an intimate setting, and a crowd that feels like they’re in on something. Easy to settle into and stay a while.
Vibes Are High Boat Party
On the water, slightly surreal, and a little more elevated (in every sense). Good if you want something that feels like an occasion without trying too hard.
The Travel Agency + Central Park reset
Stop in, pick up what you need, then head to Central Park. Find a rock, catch some sun, be lizard like, and keep it simple.
Washington Square Park 4/20 meetup
NYC’s largest yearly cannabis gathering. It’s open, crowded, a little chaotic. Hang by the fountain or drift. Giveaways, music, a lot of movement. Everyone lights up at 4:20, but it’s already going before that, and definitely keeps going after.
4/20 In Los Angeles
Bad Asians Stoned Philosophy Club Vol. 2
Co-Hosted by Mogu Magu x sub.stance x GRACE KTOWN, this is gearing up to be thoughtful, fun, and exactly the right amount of loose. Take a Wonton Workshop, have a nice herbal refreshment, enjoy even better conversations. It's 4/20, time to hang.
Sapphic Pottery Social (420 Edition)
Hands on, relaxed, and slightly sassy in a good way. Make your own pipe, ashtray, or whatever feels right. Bring something to share if you want.
Underground 420 Festival
Bigger energy. Music, vendors, and a crowd that’s there to stay a while. Feels like a small world built just for the day.
The Artist Tree
Part dispensary, part gallery, part hang. Rotating art, a space to linger, and a version of cannabis culture that leans a little more considered.
Pipe Party! 420 Ceramics
Another hands-on moment. Slower pace, tactile, and kind of meditative. You leave with something you actually made, which feels nice.
A Note On Finding More
A surprisingly easy way to fill in the gaps. Eventbrite makes the entire process incredibly simple. Once something catches your eye, all the critical details, date, time, location, and a full description, are clearly presented. The checkout is secure, and your tickets are sent directly to your email and the app, ready to be scanned at the door. You’ll find tons of free-with-RSVP events alongside ticketed experiences for every budget.
However you spend it.You don’t need a plan.
You don’t need to do everything.Pick one thing. Or don’t.Light something. Open a window. Let the day stretch out a bit.
