Where to Find the Best 4/20 Celebrations in America

Now that the pandemic is something we’re learning to live with and it’s safe to gather again, in-person celebrations are back in full force. After a two-year high-atus, we can finally celebrate 4/20 in our usual, epic fashion. And with all the pent-up energy from being stuck inside for so long, this year’s events are sure to be a doobie. A doozy, I mean!


So, assemble your squad and prepare to get joyously wasted. To make it easy for you, we’ve compiled a list of the best 4/20 parties raging from coast to coast.

We’re not saying cannabis replaces your meditation cushion (mindfulness is the real boss), but when used thoughtfully, it can be that gentle nudge toward quieter thoughts and bigger awareness. Think of it like adding a dash of local honey to your tea: subtle, natural, and oh-so-Sonoma. Curious how a subtle dose can quiet the noise and amplify the peace? Let’s explore it.
