In less than three weeks, 4/20 — the unofficial holiday to celebrate cannabis — will hit California for the first time since recreational marijuana sales have been legal. Do you know where you’ll be?

If not, we’ve got some ideas…

There are music festivals, movie screenings, comedy shows, bus tours and more taking places throughout the state on April 20. And since the holiday falls on a Friday this year, many event promoters are using 4/20 as a kickoff to weekend-long celebrations of all things weed.

Most dispensaries will be having big sales on April 20. Some will also be offering live music, workshops and food trucks to mark the occasion.

Many events are only open to people 21 and older, so check with organizers and don’t forget your ID.

Keep in mind that, while possession of up to an ounce of marijuana and licensed sales are allowed, public consumption isn’t legal anywhere in California and can still land you a ticket of $100 to $250. Also, you can still be arrested for driving while impaired, so take advantage of ride-share services that often offer 4/20 discounts or designate a sober driver.

Curious how 4/20 came about? Here’s a good primer: The origins of 4/20, explained

Did we miss a good event? Email tips@thecannifornian.com, since we’ll be updating this list leading up to April 20.

And if you can’t make it to one of these special events, here’s your reminder that “Super Troopers 2” will open in theaters across the country on April 20.
