The nine days from Aug. 1-9 have been officially dubbed "The Days Between," after the Grateful Dead song. It refers to Jerry Garcia's birthday (Aug. 1, 1942) and the day he died (Aug. 9, 1995). This year, many special events are planned to commemorate Garcia's 75th birthday.
It's April, which must mean 4/20. There are plenty of events leading up and following the stoner high holiday, including public rallies in Denver, San Francisco, Vancouver and Toronto; music festivals in Atlanta, Miami and Washington, DC; industry events like the Cannabis Cup, New England Cannabis Convention and Southwest Cannabis Conference; and concerts featuring Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson and many more.
California edibles company Altai Brands has apologized for using a woman as a serving board for cold cuts at a party at House of Blues in Las Vegas on Nov. 15.
With 4/20 landing on a Wednesday this year, events will be taking place the weekend before, the week and day of, and the weekend after. Here are 56 events to go to.
Warren Haynes will do his best Jerry Garcia impersonation in nine "Symphonic Celebration" shows this summer, from June 23 to Aug. 6. He'll lead a band that interprets songs written by Garcia and Robert Hunter for the Grateful Dead.
